Abstract
We report a systematic investigation of the emission properties of semiconductor microcavity light-emitting diodes (MC-LEDs) with different cavity detuning. Evidence that varying the cavity detuning leads to temperature insensitive output characteristics is provided by changes in the temperature dependence of the slope efficiency extracted from the light output versus current characteristics. For resonantly tuned devices the slope efficiency decreases monotonically with increasing temperature. However when the cavity peak is detuned to long wavelength with respect to the room temperature quantum well (QW) emission, temperature insensitive characteristics are achieved. Compared to a noncavity type LED, enhanced efficiency and narrow spectral linewidth have been observed for the MC-LEDs with the highest output efficiency achieved when the QW emission and cavity peak are exact resonant.
