Abstract

The experimental demonstrations of light-emitting diode (LED) fabrication with surface plasmon (SP) coupling with the radiating dipoles in its quantum wells are first reviewed. The SP coupling with a radiating dipole can create an alternative emission channel through SP radiation for enhancing the effective internal quantum efficiency when the intrinsic non-radiative recombination rate is high, reducing the external quantum efficiency droop effect at high current injection levels, and producing partially polarized LED output by inducing polarization-sensitive SP for coupling. Then, we report the theoretical and numerical study results of SP-dipole coupling based on a simple coupling model between a radiating dipole and the SP induced on a nearby Ag nanoparticle (NP). To include the dipole strength variation effect caused by the field distribution built in the coupling system (the feedback effect), the radiating dipole is represented by a saturable two-level system. The spectral and dipole-NP distance dependencies of dipole strength variation and total radiated power enhancement of the coupling system are demonstrated and interpreted. The results show that the dipole-SP coupling can enhance the total radiated power. The enhancement is particularly effective when the feedback effect is included and hence the dipole strength is increased.

Parts (a), (c), and (e) ((b), (d), and (f)) demonstrate the patterns when the azimuth angle is 0 (π/2). Three radiation patterns are plotted in each part, including the cases with the feedback effect (black solid curve) and without the feedback effect (blue dashed curve), and the case of the dipole alone (red dash-dotted curve). The two arrows of opposite orientations in each part represent the radiating dipole and the dominating mirror dipole of LSP resonance in the Ag NP.
