Abstract
Total internal reflection prevents photons from escaping deep-ultraviolet (DUV) LED, resulting in serious energy waste and reduced service life. To lift the limitation of extraction ability of AlGaN-based DUV LEDs, an inspiration was drawn from biological visual systems with wide field, which have obtained highly optimized features through evolution. By reconfiguring planar compound eye lens (PCEL) on the n-AlGaN surface utilizing bio-inspired features acquired from praying mantis, light extraction efficiency (LEE) enhancement over 180% is demonstrated both for transverse electric (TE) and magnetic fields by finite difference-time domain (FDTD) simulation. Owing to its ultrathin planar structure and compatibility of material, PCEL provides a pathway to improve energy utilization efficiency of DUV-LED utilizing one-step nanoimprint.
