Abstract

Quasi-ordered hexagonal close-packed Al nanodents, with depths of 30 nm and top-diameters of 300 nm prepared by electrochemical anodizing, are used to manage the output spectrum of white Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Significant short wavelength light, with a peak of 450 nm, displays significant scattering enhancements on these Al nanodents with the increment of the angle of the incidence, while long wavelength light, with a peak of 550 nm, shows weaker scattering on Al nanodents with the increment of theincidence angle. Near-field and far-field simulations reveal the effect of light coupling in the holes of Al nanodents on the selected scattering. This work could provide a striking new way to make use of cheap white LEDs.
