When an AlGaInP quantum well (QW) diode is biased with a forward voltage and illuminated with an external shorter-wavelength light beam, the diode is in a superposition state of both light emission and detection. The two different states take place simultaneously, and both the injected current and the generated photocurrent begin to mix. Here, we make use of this intriguing effect and integrate an AlGaInP QW diode with a programmed circuit. The AlGaInP QW diode with the dominant emission peak wavelength centered around 629.5 nm is excited by a 620-nm red-light source. The photocurrent is then extracted as a feedback signal to regulate the light emission of the QW diode in real time without an external or monolithically integrated photodetector, paving a feasible way to autonomously adjust the brightness of the QW diode for intelligent illumination in response to changes in the environmental light condition.
