Abstract

To obtain small size high speed ultraviolet sources, we studied the UV generation process and efficiency of GaN Blue LEDs. The blue and UV emissions follow a 4-level recombination model. Depending on a given pump pulse amplitude the UV to blue generation ratio increases and saturates with the increasing of pump pulse duration. High efficiency, up to 450 μ W UV power at 380 nm, can be obtained from a 1.2 mW blue LED.
