R. Bockstaele et al., Realisation of highly efficient 850nm top emitting resonant cavity light emitting diodes, ELECTR LETT, 35(18), 1999, pp. 1564-1565
Highly efficient top emitting 850 nm resonant cavity LEDs (RCLEDs) with and
without selectively oxidised current windows have been realised and compar
ed. The oxidised RCLEDs have an increased efficiency, due to a larger carri
er injection efficiency. The best devices show 14% overall quantum efficien
cy, and a voltage drop of 1.8V at 3mA drive current.
