Journal Article
Drezet, A., Przybilla, F., Laux, E., Mahboub, O., Genet, C., Ebbesen, T. W., Bouillard, J. S., Zayats, A., Spevak, I. S., Zayats, A. V., Nikitin, A. Y., & Martín-Moreno, L. (2009). Opening the light extraction cone of high index substrates with plasmonic gratings: Light emitting diode applications. Applied physics letters, 95(2), 021101. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3176435

The opening of the light extraction cone of a high index substrate (GaP) is demonstrated using plasmonic gratings. We show that the excitation of surface plasmons on the metal grating leads to the extraction of light otherwise undergoing total intern...
