High-Performance InGaN-Based Green Resonant-Cavity Light-Emitting Diodes for Plastic Optical Fiber Applications

Abstract

High-performance InGaN-based green resonant-cavity light-emitting diodes (RCLEDs) with a plating Cu substrate for plastic optical fiber communication applications are reported. Good stability of emission wavelength was obtained at 0.016 nm/mA. The RCLEDs presents low temperature dependence, showing only a 3% drop in light output power as the temperature increasing from 25 to 85 degrees C. The superior performance can be attributed to the decreased dynamic series resistance and the enhanced thermal dissipation of the heat sink substrate.
