Abstract The optical properties of AlGaN-based quantum well (QW) structure with two coupled thin well layers are investigated by the six-by-six K- P method. Compared with the conventional structure, the new structure, especially the one with lower Al-content in the barrier layer, can enhance the TE-/TM-polarized total spontaneous emission rate due to the strong quantum confinement and wide recombination region. For the conventional QW structure, the reduction of well thickness can lead the degree of polarization (DOP) to decrease and the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) to increase. By using the coupled thin well layers, the DOP for the structure with high Al-content in the barrier layer can be improved, while the DOP will further decrease with low Al-content in the barrier layer. It can be attributed to the band adjustment induced by the combination of barrier height and well layer coupling. The IQE can also be further enhanced to 14.8%-20.5% for various Al-content of barrier layer at J=100 A/cm2. In addition, the efficiency droop effect can be expected to be suppressed compared with the conventional structure.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
