SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICES ON LATTICE-MATCHED METAL SUBSTRATES

摘要

Light-emitting devices and methods, wherein, in some embodiments, the devices each include a first mirror having a first face, wherein the first mirror includes a metal and, in some embodiments, is a grown-epitaxial metal mirror (GEMM); and an epitaxial structure, wherein the epitaxial structure is lattice matched with and in contact with at least a first portion of the first face of the first mirror, wherein the epitaxial structure includes an active region configured to emit light at a wavelength λ, and wherein the active region is located a first non-zero distance away from the first face of the first mirror such that there is plasmonic coupling between the active region and the first mirror.
