In this article, the authors measured internal and external quantum efficiencies of 99.7% and 72%, respectively, for photon number squeezed light, diode lasers, singlemode light-emitting-diodes, optical interconnects, and solar cells.Abstract:
Optically thin AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs double heterostructures, (5000 A), are floated off their substrates by the epitaxial liftoff technique and mounted on various high reflectivity surfaces. From the absolute photoluminescence intensity, we measure internal and external quantum efficiencies of 99.7% and 72%, respectively. High spontaneous emission quantum efficiency, is important for photon number squeezed light, diode lasers, single‐mode light‐emitting‐diodes, optical interconnects, and solar cells.read more

30% external quantum efficiency from surface textured, thin‐film light‐emitting diodes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that by separating thin-film LEDs from their substrates (by epitaxial lift-off, for example), it is much easier for light to escape from the LED structure and thereby avoid absorption.

Strong Internal and External Luminescence as Solar Cells Approach the Shockley–Queisser Limit
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that a great solar cell also needs to be a great light-emitting diode, which is a necessity for approaching the Shockley-Queisser (SQ) efficiency limit.

Statistical ray optics.
TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical approach is taken toward the ray optics of optical media with complicated nonspherical and nonplanar surface shapes, where the light in such a medium will tend to be randomized in direction and of 2n2(x) times greater intensity than the externally incident light, where n(x), is the local index of refraction.

Resonant cavity light‐emitting diode
TL;DR: In this article, the active region of a light-emitting diode (LED) is placed in a resonant optical cavity and the optical emission is restricted to the modes of the cavity.
