Abstract

To enhance the excellent light management capability, the GaN nanowire array (NWA) resonator is designed. When the diameter D = 120 nm, the height H = 750 nm, and the period P = 240 nm, the maximum resonance-enhanced optical absorption can be obtained at a resonance wavelength of 341 nm, the value is about 98%. The carrier concentration is mainly concentrated inside the nanowire, and the light reflection at the resonance wavelength is reduced to about 3%. These factors comprehensively enhance the quantum efficiency (QE). The QE of the GaN NWA cathode is 2.7 times as long as that of the GaN planar cathode.
