Plasmonic enhanced emission from nanostructed embedded InGaN/GaN MQWs with silver nanoparticles

Recently there has been extensive research to address the shortcomings of the widely used phosphor coated Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) such as the slow recombination rate. In-situ Indium rich InGaN quantum dots (QD) was incorporated into multi-quantum wells (MQWs) to generate a broad emission spectrum. In this research, we aim to study the effect of surface plasmon coupling on QD emission by depositing a layer of Silver (Ag) Nanoparticles onto a surface of such MQWs sample. Ag nanoparticles has been shown to be effect in tuning the different intensity and response of these quantum dots incorporated MQWs sample.
