Abstract

Fundamental limitation on interband luminescence's quantum efficiency value in narrow gap semiconductors prevent practical use of orthodox light emitting diodes for optical processing in IR (5-25 Ã‚Âµm). Use of thermal emission resulting from intraband transitions in wide gap semiconductors seems to be alternative approach to decide the problem. Pros and cons of the proposal supported by theoretical calculations and experimental study are being discussed in details. Subject areas: Submillimeter and Infrared Devices and Technology
