Efficient electroluminescence from InP diodes grown by LPE from Sn solutions

Abstract
We report the observation of efficient room‐temperature electroluminescence from InP p‐n junctions at wavelengths near the 1.05‐μ window of low‐loss glass fibers. External efficiencies of 1% and peak wavelengths variable between 0.98 and 1.10 μ have been obtained.
