  • Abstract
    We present the concept of a novel resonant-cavity LED design where a symmetric resonant cavity (RC) is added to the outcoupling reflector. Because of the peculiar characteristics of the resulting mirror, these so-called RC/sup 2/LED´s have a much higher extraction efficiency into a limited NA as compared to conventional RCLED designs.
