Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
Graded-refractive-index (GRIN) coatings, composed of multiple dielectric layers of TiO and SiO are sputter-deposited on the nitrogen-face of thin-film GaInN/GaN light emitting diodes (LEDs). The thickness and refractive index of each layer in the GRIN stack is designed to minimize light trapping inside the LED caused by total internal reflection at the semiconductor-air interface. Patterning the GRIN stack forms an optically functional surface, which converts trapped modes of light into desirable extracted modes that have preferential directions. Inductively coupled-plasma reactive-ion-etching is used to fabricate various patterns, including arrays of cylindrical pillars and diamond-shaped pillars on the GRIN coatings. In comparison to an uncoated planar reference device, the light-output power is enhanced by 131% and 104% for an array of GRIN diamond-shaped pillars and an array of GRIN cylindrical pillars, respectively. This enhancement in light-output power is comparable to N-face roughened LEDs, which show an enhancement of 124%. In addition, the peak emission intensity of the GRIN LEDs with an array of GRIN pillars is between 25° and 55° off-surface-normal. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.
