T. Hirano et al., INVESTIGATING STATISTICAL PROPERTIES OF LIGHT FROM HIGH-EFFICIENCY LIGHT-EMITTING-DIODES, Progress in crystal growth and characterization of materials, 33(1-3), 1996, pp. 339-342
We find that photons from a light emitting diode injected with Poisson
ian electrons have super-Poissonian statistics when the differential e
fficiency is larger than the mean emission efficiency of the device. T
his result shows the limitation of a conventional theory which describ
es the generation of sub-Poissonian light in terms of Poisson point pr
ocess.
