Abstract
For the first time, an ultrahigh degree of optical polarization (DOP) of 81.8% in AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet LED (DUV-LED) operated at 286 nm has been experimentally demonstrated. The very high DOP was obtained by introducing the novel moth-eye microstructure fabricated on the backside of a sapphire substrate. Compared with conventional DUV-LED with a DOP of 64.7%, a significant 1.26-fold enhancement was obtained. It was worth mentioning that the DOP was accurately measured via self-built full spatial transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) mode light intensity test system, which was mainly composed of angle resolution bracket, Glan-Taylor prism, and spectrometer. For both TE and TM mode light, the extraction angle inside the semiconductor was extended from conventional (−26°, 26°), (−52°, −41°), (41°, 52°) to (−52°, 52°). Combined with finite difference time domain simulation, it was further confirmed that the novel moth-eye microstructure could notably weaken the total internal reflectio...
