<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light-emitting device which is substantially thin and provides a side radiation of uniform light in the radial direction, and can be coupled to an optical waveguide efficiently so as to generate uniform illumination. <P>SOLUTION: The light-emitting device includes one or more semiconductor layers, a reflective bottom surface, and a top surface coupled to the semiconductor layers. The semiconductor layers include an active region where a primary light is generated. The relative position of the top surface, the reflective bottom surface and the active region is adjusted to substantially transmit the primary light through the sides of the light-emitting device. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
