Abstract
The spontaneous electroluminescence emission of InAs light-emitting diodes (LEDs) operating at 3.3 μm was studied as a function of applied hydrostatic pressure. An enhancement of a factor of almost four in radiative efficiency at room temperature was observed in the range 0 to 10 kbar. Analysis of the dependence of electroluminescence emission intensity on hydrostatic pressure at constant current reveals that nonradiative Auger recombination dominates the quantum efficiency of these LEDs
