| Abstract: A volume-scalable, high-brightness, electrically driven visible light
source comprises a three-dimensional photonic crystal (3DPC) comprising
one or more direct bandgap semiconductors. The improved light emission
performance of the invention is achieved based on the enhancement of
radiative emission of light emitters placed inside a 3DPC due to the
strong modification of the photonic density-of-states engendered by the
3DPC. |
