II-VI semiconductors can exhibit strong photoluminescence throughout the visible spectrum and are excellent candidates
for filling the so-called "green gap". We report on the performance of green color-converted LEDs fabricated by bonding
CdMgZnSe multiple quantum well structures to high-efficiency blue-emitting GaInN LEDs. A device efficacy of 181
lm/W at 537 nm (dominant) is measured under room temperature, 350 mA/mm2 quasi-cw conditions, more than twice as
efficient as typical commercial green LEDs today. The thermal roll-off is shown to be comparable to that of typical
green GaInN LEDs. Finally, the implications of the availability of high-efficiency, narrow-band, green and yellow
emitters in display applications will be discussed.
Refractive microoptical elements were originally fabricated by mass-transport smoothing in gallium phosphide. Mass- transport smoothing is based on surface diffusion at elevated temperatures and allows the generation of highly efficient semiconductor microoptics. Starting from a master element, we have developed a replication technique for transferring microoptical surface reliefs into other semiconductor materials, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs). The technique uses a cast and dry etch process. Two different refractive microoptical elements have been replicated into GaAs, a Fresnel biprism and a concave micromirror. The elements have been characterized and show the high fidelity of the replication process.
