1. A method comprising growing a photonic crystal within a semiconductor structure, the semiconductor structure comprising a light emitting region configured to emit light of wavelength λ

  • when forward biased, the light emitting region being disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region, wherein the photonic crystal comprises;

    a plurality of regions of semiconductor material having a first refractive index; and

    a plurality of regions of a material having a second refractive index, wherein the second refractive index is different from the first refractive index;

    wherein the regions of material having a second refractive index are disposed between the regions of semiconductor material in an array, and each region of material having a second refractive index is located less than 5λ

    from a nearest neighbor region of material having a second refractive index.
