1. A solid state light emitting device comprising:
- a solid state light emitting die that is configured to emit light upon energization thereof;
a preform that is configured to allow at least some light that is emitted from the solid state light emitting die to pass therethrough;
a layer that attaches and optically couples the preform and the solid state light emitting die to one another; and
an optical element in and/or on the preform that is configured to modify at least some of the light that is emitted from the solid state light emitting die.

Abstract
A preform is attached to a solid state light emitting die. One or more optical elements, such as a photoluminescent element, a refracting element, a filtering element, a scattering element, a diffusing element or a reflecting element, is included in and/or on the preform. For example, the preform may be a glass preform with phosphor particles suspended therein. The preform may be fabricated using microelectronic manufacturing techniques, and may be placed on the solid state light emitting die using pick and place techniques.
