摘要:
A light emitting diode device is described which includes at least one planar non-periodic high-index-contrast grating. The light emitting diode device includes a cavity formed between a reflective optical element and a transmissive optical element. One or both of the optical elements can be a planar non-periodic high-index-contrast grating. The transmissive optical element can be a collimating lens used to collimate incident beams of light while the reflective optical element can be a parabolic reflector used to reflect incident beams of light along a direction opposite to an incidence direction. A light emitter can be disposed within the cavity and can emit beams of light.

A ridge waveguide with decreased optical losses from surface scattering includes a ridge waveguide with etched surfaces and an optical layer deposited on the ridge waveguide that substantially covers the etched surfaces. A method of reducing optical energy losses from scattering at etched surfaces of a ridge waveguide includes depositing a layer of optical material over the etched surfaces, the layer of optical material filling surface irregularities in the etched surfaces.

A method for forming a graphene layer is disclosed herein. The method includes establishing an insulating layer on a substrate such that at least one seed region, which exposes a surface of the substrate, is formed. A seed material in the seed region is exposed to a carbon-containing precursor gas, thereby initiating nucleation of the graphene layer on the seed material and enabling lateral growth of the graphene layer along at least a portion of a surface of the insulating layer.

Also included is a strain application structure coupled to the semiconductor layer to create a strain in the semiconductor layer to change the semiconductor bandgap.

A method for making a multi-level nanowire structure includes establishing a first plurality of nanowires on a substrate surface, wherein at least some of the nanowires are i) aligned at a predetermined crystallographically defined angle with respect to the substrate surface, ii) aligned substantially perpendicular with respect to the substrate surface, or iii) combinations of i and ii. An insulating layer is established between the nanowires of the first plurality such that one of two opposed ends of at least some of the nanowires positioned i) at the predetermined crystallographically defined angle, ii) substantially perpendicular with respect to the substrate surface, or iii) combinations of i and ii is exposed. Regions are grown from each of the exposed ends, and such regions coalesce to form a substantially continuous layer on the insulating layer. A second plurality of nanowires is established on the substantially continuous layer.
