Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been intensively studied for white-light lighting since their luminous efficacy exceeds 50 lm/W. Currently, the luminous efficacy of an LED light tube/bulb is almost above 100 lm/W. LED solid-state lighting (SSL) has unequivocally become the major light source in general lighting. The fact of high efficiency and other advantages of LED SSL is enough to penetrate all lighting scenarios. However, what people demand from new-generation lighting is not only in energy efficiency but also in lighting quality. Thus, how to make the lighting more user friendly is one of the important issues, and, here, optics is the key point. For making a collection with the discussions of the novel optical design in enhancing lighting efficiency in a more uniform illumination pattern, in higher sharpness for special lighting, in a higher signal-to-noise ratio for communication, in more functions for new applications, etc., this Special Issue of “Advanced LED Solid-State Lighting Optics” focuses on advanced applications in all aspects.

AbstractThis article reviews the development of nonpolar and semipolar InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs), emphasizing structures on freestanding bulk GaN. A brief history of LED development on each orientation is provided, followed by a discussion of the most relevant and recent results. The context is related to several current LED issues, such as the realization of high-efficiency white solid-state lighting, potential solutions to the “green gap,” and applications for polarized emitters. The section on nonpolar LEDs highlights high-power violet and blue emitters and considers the effects of indium incorporation and substrate miscut. The section on semipolar GaN reviews the development of LEDs in the violet, blue, green, and yellow regions and highlights the potential of InGaN/GaN LEDs as an alternative technology to AlInGaP for yellow emitters. A brief review of polarization anisotropy also is included for each orientation. Finally, a two source white light system utilizing a nonpolar blue LED and a semipolar yellow LED is presented.
