Modeling white light-emitting diodes with phosphor layers
With a blue light-emitting diode and a phosphor layer to downconvert blue light to a second light, such as yellow, white light can be produced. The authors developed a one-dimensional model to describ...

A three-dimensional layer-by-layer photonic crystal with a complete photonic band gap is used to experimentally and theoretically demonstrate a sharp tunable bandpass filter. The structure consists of input and output waveguide sections coupled through a nearby cavity. The authors show experimentally and verify with finite difference time domain simulations that this configuration is a bandpass filter where a particular resonant frequency of the cavity is selected from the input guide and transmitted to the output guide leaving out other input frequencies. An excellent coupling efficiency near 100% between the waveguide and the cavity is found for the drop frequencies. ©2006 American Institute of Physics
