Resonant microcavity communication device

Abstract

A resonant microcavity display having microcavity with a substrate, a phosphor active region and front and rear reflectors. The front and rear reflectors may be spaced to create either a standing or traveling electromagnetic wave to enhance the efficiency of the light transmission.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method of producing a communication device, which comprises growing a resonant microcavity, including a phosphor active region inside said microcavity.  
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said active region has a width selected to control the chromaticity of the light emitted from the communicating device.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said microcavity is designed to control the directionality of the light emitted from the communicating device.  
     
     
         4 . A method of producing a communication device which comprises: 
 growing a resonant microcavity including a phosphor active region for said microcavity.    
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4  including: 
 growing said phosphor active region inside of said microcavity.  
 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4  wherein said microcavity has a first reflector and a second reflector, the method including: 
 growing said phosphor active region between said first reflector and said second reflector.
