The results are demonstrated by comparing three different LED surface structures, including bare p-type surface, GaZnO current spreading layer, and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) for inducing SP coupling. In a single-quantum-well, blue-emitting LED with a circular mesa of 10 m in radius, SP coupling results in a modulation bandwidth of 528.8 MHz, which is believed to be the record-high level in visible range. A smaller RC time constant can lead to a higher modulation bandwidth. However, when the RC time constant is smaller than ~0.2 ns, its effect on modulation bandwidth saturates. The dependencies of modulation bandwidth on injected current density and carrier decay time confirm that the modulation bandwidth is essentially inversely proportional to a time constant, which is inversely proportional to the square-root of carrier decay rate and injected current density.2890010 bytesapplication/pdf論文公開時間: 2018/8/2論文使用權限: 同意有償授權(權利金給回饋學校)表面電漿子耦合發光二極體調制頻寬Surface plasmon couplingLight-emitting diodeModulation bandwidththesis10.6342/NTU201601354http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/272743/1/ntu-105-R02941010-1.pdf
