Popis: Electroluminescence (EL) mapping has successfully been performed for In x Ga 1-x N single quantum well (SQW)-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) by employing scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) at room temperature. The relative EL intensity fluctuates in the range from 1 to 4 with the spatial scale less than a few hundred nanometers. Clear correlation has been found between EL peak wavelengths and EL intensities where the regions of long wavelength correspond to those of strong EL intensity, suggesting that the injected carriers redistribute toward local potential minima within In x Ga 1-x N SQWs.
