Abstract

Light-emitting systems, and related components, systems and methods are disclosed.

Claims

1. A light-emitting system including a light-emitting device that comprises:

a multi-layer stack of materials including a light-generating region and a first layer supported by the light-generating region,

wherein;

a surface of the first layer is configured so that light generated by the light-generating region can emerge from the light-emitting device via the surface of the first layer;

the surface of the first layer has a dielectric function that varies spatially according to a pattern;

the pattern has an ideal lattice constant and a detuning parameter with a value greater than zero; and

the light-emitting device is configured so that, when light generated by the light-generating region emerges from the light-emitting device via the surface of the first layer, the light can emerge from the light-emitting system.
