| Abstract: | We, for the first time, designed and fabricated resonant-cavity light-emitting diodes for high-speed optical communications using a tunnel diode contact scheme. Use of a tunnel diode provides extra freedom in designing the device contact and cavity mirror, which allows the realization of a resonant cavity without requiring distributed Bragg reflectors. The fabricated resonant-cavity light-emitting diodes have half the spectrum bandwidth and nearly triple the fiber-coupled power of noncavity devices |
