Abstract :
We study the possibility of increasing the quantum efficiency of III-V semiconductor nanowire emitters using plasmonics. Results on the effect of plasmonic nanoparticle size, emitter-plasmonic nanoparticle distance and the initial quantum efficiency of the emitter on the quantum efficiency enhancement factor are presented.
