摘要
The polarization of the light emitted by an ultraviolet light-emitting diode (LED) has a direct impact on the device performance: a transverse electric polarization of the emission is preferred for extraction from the surface of the diode grown along the c axis. While this is the case for most UV LEDs grown on AlN, this state of events could be called into question when a tunnel junction (TJ) is added to make up for the poor p doping in Al-rich (Al,Ga)N and improve the hole injection. Indeed, nitride-based TJs mainly inject holes with a Gamma(7) symmetry, which could lead to transverse magnetic polarization of the light emitted by the diode. We have experimentally investigated this important issue and delivered a clear answer to this question.
