Abstract
The high transfer efficiency βt ~ 15%, defined as a fraction of main cavity-mode photons emitted within a certain detection angle (30° in our case) from the normal to the surface to the total emitted photons, is one of the important results of the application of microcavities to semiconductor light emitting diodes. It has been shown, however, that a too high reflection coefficient of the cavity mirrors would not always lead to a larger βt, because of the reabsorption for main-mode photons in the quantum well (QW).1 In order to confirm further the photon reabsorption effect, we present in this talk, that the βt, is continuously varied with excited carrier population in the QW and that the βt can be recovered toward its empty cavity value by absorption bleaching.
