Abstract
Devices, such as light-emitting devices (e.g., LEDs), and methods associated with such devices are provided. The device may include an interface having a dielectric function that varies spatially according to a transformed pattern, wherein the transformed pattern conforms to a transformation of a precursor pattern according to a mathematical function. A method is also provided for generating a pattern for incorporation in a device. The method comprises providing a precursor pattern, and transforming the precursor pattern according to a mathematical function, thereby generating a transformed pattern. Alternatively, or additionally, the device may include an interface having a dielectric function that varies spatially according to a transformed pattern, wherein the transformed pattern conforms to a transformation of a periodic precursor pattern according to a mathematical function. The mathematical function includes providing an angular displacement to features of the periodic precursor pattern, wherein the angular displacement depends on the radial distance of the features of the periodic precursor pattern with respect to a reference origin.
