Abstract:
We experimentally demonstrate Cooper-pair injection into a superconducting light-emitting diode by observing Andreev reflection at the superconductor-semiconductor interface, overcoming the contradicting requirements of an electrically transparent interface and radiative recombination efficiency. The device exhibits electroluminescence enhancement at the quasi-Fermi energy at temperatures below Tc. The theoretically predicted conductance and electroluminescence spectra based on Cooper-pair injection into the semiconductor correspond well to our experimental results. Our findings pave the way for practical superconductor-semiconductor quantum light sources.

A photon is a discrete electromagnetic particle or bundle of energy. Photons are characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, similar to the properties of a wave. Waves with higher frequencies transmit more energy and have shorter wavelengths than longer wavelengths that transmit...
