1. A device comprising:
- a structure including a light emitting region disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region; and
a reflector disposed on at least a portion of a bottom surface of the structure, wherein;
a plurality of holes in the structure are formed in a first region of the structure corresponding to a first portion of the light emitting region;
a plurality of second regions of the structure, each second region corresponding to a second portion of the light emitting region, are free of holes;
each of the second regions is surrounded by the first region; and
the device is configured such that when forward biased, current is injected in the second regions and the first region is substantially free of current.

Abstract
A light emitting device includes a structure with a light emitting region disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. A plurality of holes in the structure, which form a photonic crystal, are formed in a first region of the structure corresponding to a first portion of the light emitting region. A second region of the structure corresponding to a second portion of the light emitting region is free of holes. The device is configured such that when forward biased, current is injected in the second region and the first region is substantially free of current.
