4. Semiconductor LED chips are commonly coated with any optically transparent encapsulant. Assume that the refractive index of the encapsulant is n=1.6 a. What is the reason for using an encapsulant b. Calculate the reflectance at the encapsulant-air boundary (Assume normal incidence) c. To reduce reflectance at the encapsulant-air boundary, one can use a second encapsulant forming a thin layer on top of the first encapsulant. The second encapsulant has a refractive index n2. Sketch the device having both encapsulants. d. Assume the reflectances of the two interfaces add up (R-Ri+R2). Give a formula for the total reflectance as a function of nz. e. Calculate the optimum value of n, that will minimize total reflection.
