Far-field distributions of GaN-based photonic crystal (PhC) film-transferred light-emitting diodes (FT-LEDs) were investigated. The thickness of the device is about 840 nm. The emission wavelength is around 520 nm. The PhC region is a square lattice with a/lambda around 0.5. Angular-resolved measurements in the Gamma-X and Gamma-M directions were made in the polarized-resolved manner. Guided mode extraction behavior in agreement with the two-dimensional free-photon band calculation was observed. In addition, the pseudo-TM behavior for the non-collinearly coupled modes was observed. The azimuthal-mapping of the angular-resolved spectra revealed the evolution of the collinearly and the non-collinearly coupled modes. Furthermore, the light enhancement of approximately 2.7x and the collimation angle about 102.3 degrees were achieved.
