    Area of Science:

    • Optoelectronics
    • Biotechnology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Gallium Nitride (GaN) microLED arrays offer high spatio-temporal resolution for biological manipulation.
    • Optogenetics requires precise optical pattern generation for controlling biological systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and optimize a micro illumination tool based on GaN microLED arrays.
    • To enhance extraction efficiency and spatial resolution for customized optical patterns.
    • To enable advanced optogenetics applications through improved microLED design.

    Main Methods:

    • Ray tracing simulations were employed to analyze device performance.
    • Structural parameters, including mesa-side inclination angle and substrate thickness, were optimized.
    • The impact of an integrated indium gallium nitride (InGaN) micro-lens array was investigated.

    Main Results:

    • Optimized mesa-structures and substrate thickness improve light extraction and spatial resolution.
    • The full width at half maximum (FWHM) and array pitch were correlated to define resolution criteria.
    • Including an InGaN micro-lens array with substrate removal significantly boosts extraction efficiency (up to 3x) while preserving spatial resolution.

    Conclusions:

    • The optimized GaN microLED design achieves high-performance optical pattern generation.
    • The proposed platform is suitable for precise biological system manipulation in optogenetics.
    • Further integration of micro-optics like InGaN micro-lenses is key to maximizing microLED performance.
