| 20110232756 | DESIGNING THE HOST OF NANO-STRUCTURED OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE - A nanostructured optoelectronic device is provided which comprises a nanostructured material and a host material intermingled with the nanostructured material. The host material may have a higher index of refraction than the nanostructured material. The host material's index of refraction may be chosen to maximize the effective active area of the device. In an alternative embodiment, the host material comprises scattering centers or absorption/luminescence centers which absorb light and reemit the light at a different energy or both. | 09-29-2011 |
