Abstract

In the field of augmented reality, the development of full color µLEDs matrices is a critical step towards miniaturizing and simplifying the optical system. Current pixel architectures in microLEDs displays are based on color conversion. Short wavelength emission from a first active material is absorbed by a second active layer to be re-emitted at longer wavelength. In current architectures, re-emission follows a lambertian profile making them unsuitable for AR/VR applications.

Recent work by the Charles Fabry laboratory - Institut d’Optique, as part of E. Bailly's thesis, has demonstrated that combining metasurfaces with color converters can enable shaping the radiation pattern. The primary goal of this thesis is to apply this innovative method by integrating it with blue GaN µLEDs developed at CEA-LETI.
Throughout this thesis, the student will first design the devices using optical simulations, aiming to optimize them for both efficiency and directional angular radiation pattern. Following this, the student will fabricate the devices in the clean room at LETI and perform opto-electrical characterization.
The initial design phase will primarily take place at the Quantum Nanophotonics and Plasmonics team of Charles Fabry laboratory - Institut d’Optique, in Saclay, under the supervision of the thesis director. The student will then move to CEA-LETI in Grenoble for the fabrication, characterization and comparison with simulation results.
The selected student will benefit from the extensive expertise in nano-photonics and simulation at the Charles Fabry laboratory, as well as the technological, simulation, and characterization expertise in µLEDs at CEA-LETI.
The Quantum Nanophotonics and Plasmonics at Institut d’Optique team investigates the physics and engineering of spontaneous light emission (fluorescence, incandescence, electroluminescence), at different scales (quantum regime with single photon and single atoms, collective effects, photon condensates, condensed matter systems…).
The LITE (Emissive Technologies Integration Laboratory) at CEA-LETI focuses on manufacturing microemitting devices (µLED, OLED, LCD) in a silicon microelectronics foundry-type environment. This includes, for example improving µdisplays performances, made above ASICs, while reducing the pixel size, or demonstrating new use cases of these light sources in the field of biomedical optical sensors.
