PREPARATION METHOD FOR RESONANT CAVITY LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE
A preparation method for a resonant cavity light-emitting diode comprises: forming a first mirror and a first semiconductor layer on a substrate in sequence; forming an active layer on the first semiconductor layer; and forming a second semiconductor layer and a second mirror on the active layer in sequence. The preparation method further comprises: planarizing at least one of a first contact surface between the first semiconductor layer and the first mirror, and a second contact surface between the second semiconductor layer and the second mirror.

MONOLITHIC LIGHT SOURCE WITH INTEGRATED OPTICS BASED ON NONLINEAR FREQUENCY CONVERSION
A semiconductor light source including a planar optical component that focuses long-wavelength (e.g., infrared) light emitted in a resonant cavity into a nonlinear crystal, which then converts the long-wavelength light into light having a shorter wavelength (e.g., visible light) by frequency doubling.

The resonant cavity includes an active region that emits the long-wavelength light at a high efficiency. The planar optical component includes a micro-lens formed in semiconductor layers or a gradient refractive index lens formed in the nonlinear crystal.
