Abstract. GaAs/GaInP double heterostructures are index matched with ZnSe hemispheres to increase the coupling of photoluminescence out of the device. We measure external quantum efficiencies as large as 96% at room temperature using a bolometric calibration technique. When the carriers are optically injected near the bandgap energy, the luminescence is blueshifted by up to 1.4 kT. In this case, external efficiencies exceeding 97.5% would yield optical refrigeration in the solid state.
