| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Spontaneous light sources with a well-defined spatial directionality are strongly desired in various applications. Despite the extensive studies devoted to controlling the radiation process of spontaneous emissions, there still lacks a reliable method which can provide a high directionality suitable for widespread applications, especially in terms of the stability of the directionality against variations in device operating conditions. In this work, we proposed a novel approach of controlling the directionality of spontaneous emissions which employs the evanescent wave coupling effect in a subwavelength-sized ridge or truncated cone structure. Strong directionalities characterized by a half-intensity angle of 43 degree are demonstrated for the first time by using a an InGaAs/GaAs light-emitting diode with fine ridges formed on its light-extraction surface. The directionality is found to be almost independent of operating conditions over a wide range of operating condition variations.
