Abstract: A color shifting illuminator includes a first luminescent material that absorbs first incident photons having an energy greater than or equal to a first threshold energy, and emits first photons with less energy than the first incident photons. The color shifting illuminator also includes a second luminescent material that absorbs second incident photons having an energy greater than or equal to a second threshold energy, and emits second photons with less energy than the second incident photons and less energy than the first photons. The first luminescent material and the second luminescent material are included in a waveguide, and the waveguide exhibits total internal reflection for the first photons and the second photons satisfying conditions for total internal reflection. An extraction region is coupled to the waveguide to emit the first photons and the second photons.

Abstract: A passive illuminator includes a luminescent region with a semiconductor material that absorbs first photons having energy greater than or equal to a threshold energy. In response to absorbing the first photons, the semiconductor material emits second photons, through a spontaneous emission process, having less energy than the first photons. A waveguide is optically coupled to the luminescent region to transport the second photons a distance from the luminescent region. An extraction region optically coupled to the waveguide to emit the second photons, and the waveguide is disposed between the extraction region and the luminescent region.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes generating a wafer by generating an N-type semiconductor layer and an active region on the N-type semiconductor layer. The N-type semiconductor layer is located on a first side of the active layer. One or more oxidizing layers are generated along with a P-type semiconductor layer generated on a second, opposite side of the active layer. The wafer is etched to expose a surface of each oxidizing layer. Oxidation of a first region of each oxidizing layer is allowed, where a second region of each oxidizing layer remains non-oxidized.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a light emitting diode (LED) includes forming an active region structured to emit ultraviolet (UV) light and disposed between a first n-type semiconductor region and a first p-type semiconductor region. The method also includes forming a tunnel junction, where the first p-type semiconductor region is disposed between the active region and the tunnel junction, and where the tunnel junction is electrically coupled to inject charge carriers into the active region through the first p-type semiconductor region. A second n-type semiconductor region is also formed, where the tunnel junction is disposed between the second n-type semiconductor region and the first p-type semiconductor region.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) to emit ultraviolet (UV) light includes a first n-type semiconductor region and a first p-type semiconductor region. The LED also includes an active region disposed between the first n-type semiconductor region and the first p-type semiconductor region, and in response to a bias applied across the light emitting diode, the active region emits UV light. A tunnel junction is disposed in the LED so the first p-type semiconductor region is disposed between the active region and the tunnel junction. The tunnel junction is electrically coupled to inject charge carriers into the active region through the first p-type semiconductor region. A second n-type semiconductor region is also disposed in the LED so the tunnel junction is disposed between the second n-type semiconductor region and the first p-type semiconductor region.
