摘要： A simplified apparatus and a design method for providing microwave resonators having high Q factors. The apparatus includes a resonant microwave cavity having three mutually orthogonal dimensions and a low loss dielectric body substantially enclosing each dimension of the resonant microwave cavity. To further increase Q-factor, the apparatus of the invention preferably includes a plurality of resonant microwave cavities and a plurality of low loss dielectric bodies each substantially enclosing a respective one of the microwave resonant cavities. In some embodiments the low loss dielectric bodies are arranged in a stack. In other embodiments the low loss dielectric bodies are concentrically arranged. The design method includes selecting a resonant mode frequency and a height dimension of a microwave resonant cavity, extending radial bessel function solutions along a radius of the cavity to determine radial locations of electric field nulls of a resonant mode of microwaves, and substantially positioning concentric dielectric tube portions of the bodies at the radial locations of the electric field nulls. Similarly, the method of the invention includes extending cavity harmonic function solutions along the axis of symmetry of the cavity to determine axial locations of electric field nulls of the resonant mode of microwaves, and substantially positioning dielectric plate portions of the bodies at the axial locations of the electric field nulls.

摘要： Light emitting devices with improved light extraction efficiency are provided. The light emitting devices have a stack of layers including semiconductor layers comprising an active region. The stack is bonded to a transparent lens having a refractive index for light emitted by the active region preferably greater than about 1.5, more preferably greater than about 1.8. A method of bonding a transparent lens to a light emitting device having a stack of layers including semiconductor layers comprising an active region includes elevating a temperature of the lens and the stack and applying a pressure to press the lens and the stack together. Bonding a high refractive index lens to a light emitting device improves the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting device by reducing loss due to total internal reflection. Advantageously, this improvement can be achieved without the use of an encapsulant.

摘要： An optical port with directional control. The port includes a transmitter, receiver, and first actuator. The transmitter generates an outgoing light signal that propagates in a transmission direction in response to an outgoing electrical signal. The receiver receives an incoming light signal and generating an incoming electrical signal therefrom, the receiver having a reception direction aligned with the transmission direction. The first actuator alters the transmission direction of the outgoing light signal in response to a first control signal. In one embodiment, the first actuator determines the direction of the outgoing light signal in a first plane, and a second actuator controls the direction of the outgoing light signal by an amount determined by a second control signal. The second actuator controls the direction of the outgoing light signal in a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane. The actuators can be constructed from beam deflectors that utilize moveable mirrors to alter the transmission direction. In one embodiment, the deflector includes an array of mirrors, each mirror rotating about an axis through the mirror. Actuators that rotate the transmitter and reflector may also be utilized.
