Abstract
This paper describes the design of substrate emitting microcavity LED's and a comparison of experimental results with modeling results. The modeling is based on a simulation tool which accounts for guided modes, quantum well reabsorption and photon recycling. The overall quantum efficiencies of /spl lambda//2 and /spl lambda/ cavities both with a 60% and a 90% reflecting DBR mirror are compared and a good qualitative correspondence is found between theory and experiment. The maximum theoretical overall quantum efficiency for the considered structures is expected to be around 14%, whereas the best experimental value amounts to 10.2%.<>Keywords
