We demonstrate a light-extraction approach using a whispering gallery resonators array. The wavelength-scale resonant dielectric nanospheres support whispering gallery modes, which can be coupled with the confined waveguide modes inside the bulk material, thus dramatically improving light extraction. Broadband light-extraction enhancement across the entire visible spectral range is achieved by exciting three low-order and low-quality-factor resonances. As an example, the broadband extraction enhancement of about 50% is obtained for the emission of fluorescent SiC at all the tested angles. The experimental results are supported by numerical simulations. Our light-extraction strategy could enable the manufacturing of high-throughput, nondestructive, and affordable optical coating in a variety of optical devices.
