Super-luminescent (FCLED) "Folded Cavity Light Emitting Diode" comprising a cavity folding waveguide (34) that has at least one total internal reflecting prism (34 A), which provides for a redirection of intra-cavity produced fundamental photonic radiation (40 A) from a longitudinal propagation (40 B) into a transverse propagation (40° C.), and back into a longitudinal (40 E) yet reversed propagation (40° F.) defining a folded cavity, an active-region (36) that comprises an active-area (36 B) defining spontaneous-emission of photonic radiation, and a photon collimating window emitter-layer (38), which is capable of collimating and focusing sufficient undiffused optical radiation into a propagation direction away from the present invention's optically folded vertical cavity.
