摘要
The external efficiency of AlGaAs/GaAs photon-recycling light-emitting diodes operated at low temperature (80 K) and low current densities has been maximized by adjusting the beryllium doping concentration ill the active region. A concentration of 8 x 10(16) cm(-3) was found close to the optimum: below this value the bimolecular recombination appears and above impurity-related transitions penalize the efficiency of photon-recycling effects.
