  • Patent number: 11094855
    Abstract: A nanostructure fabricated on a semiconductor light-emitting device induces strain in the active region. The active device includes at least one quantum heterostructure, in which the strain changes the extent of Quantum Confined Stark Effect, and thus modifies the wavelength of light emission. By mixing strain relaxation and strain induction effects there is a spectral broadening of the light emission, providing polychromatic light emission.
