摘要
The surface-plasmon-enhanced light emitters based on indium gallium nitride quantum wells are discussed. The surface plasmons (SP) can increase the density of states and the spontaneous emisson rate in the semiconductors. Large enhancement of the internal quantum efficiencies are measured when silver or aluminium layers are deposited 10 nm above InGaN light emitting layer. The result shows that the use of SPs leads to a new class of very bright LEDs and highly efficient solid-state light sources.
