Optimized emission in nanorod arrays through quasi-aperiodic inverse design

Abstract

We investigate a new class of quasi-aperiodic nanorod structures for the enhancement of incoherent light emission. We identify one optimized structure using an inverse design algorithm and the finite-difference time-domain method. We carry out emission calculations on both the optimized structure as well as a simple periodic array. The optimized structure achieves nearly perfect light extraction while maintaining a high spontaneous emission rate. Overall, the optimized structure can achieve a 20%–42% increase in external quantum efficiency relative to a simple periodic design, depending on material quality.
