Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Optoelectronics

Background:

  • The plasmonic Dicke effect describes enhanced light emission from multiple emitters coupled to a shared surface plasmon (SP) mode in metal nanostructures.
  • This cooperative emission mechanism offers a pathway to higher collective emission efficiency.
  • Indium Gallium Nitride/Gallium Nitride (InGaN/GaN) quantum wells (QWs) are crucial for optoelectronic devices, and their emission efficiency is a key performance metric.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and compare the emission efficiency enhancements in InGaN/GaN quantum-well (QW) structures with varying QW period numbers under surface plasmon (SP) coupling.
  • To demonstrate emission behavior consistent with the plasmonic Dicke effect in a multi-QW system.
  • To identify the optimal QW structure for maximizing the SP coupling effect and understand the effective depth range of the plasmonic Dicke effect.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of InGaN/GaN quantum-well (QW) structures with different QW period numbers.
  • Coupling of QW structures with surface Ag nanoparticles to induce surface plasmon (SP) excitation.
  • Measurement of internal quantum efficiency and time-resolved photoluminescence to compare emission efficiencies of blue and green QW structures.

Main Results:

  • The relative enhancement of overall emission efficiency increased with the QW period number up to a critical value.
  • Beyond this critical QW period number, the emission enhancement began to decrease, indicating an optimal range for SP coupling.
  • The observed behavior was consistent with the principles of the plasmonic Dicke effect, showing enhanced collective emission.

Conclusions:

  • The study confirms the plasmonic Dicke effect in SP-coupled InGaN/GaN QW systems, demonstrating enhanced light emission.
  • A critical QW period number was identified, representing the effective depth for plasmonic Dicke effect and an optimized structure for maximizing SP coupling.
  • Surface plasmon coupling with Ag nanoparticles provides an effective method to enhance the emission efficiency of InGaN/GaN QW structures.
