Abstract: Light emitting systems are disclosed. The light emitting system emits an output light that has a first color. The light emitting system includes a first electroluminescent device that emits light at a first wavelength in response to a first signal. The first wavelength is substantially independent of the first signal. The intensity of the emitted first wavelength light is substantially proportional to the first signal. The light emitting system further includes a first luminescent element that includes a second electroluminescent device and a first light converting layer. The second electroluminescent device emits light at a second wavelength in response to a second signal. The first light converting layer includes a semiconductor potential well and converts at least a portion of light at the second wavelength to light at a third wavelength that is longer than the second wavelength. The light emitting system combines light at the first wavelength with light at the third wavelength to form the output light at the first color. When one of the first and second signals changes from about 50% of a maximum rating of the signal to about 100% of the maximum rating, but the ratio of the first signal to the second signal remains substantially unchanged, the first color of the output light remains substantially unchanged.

The first tuning element may include a differential higher-order delay line including a polarization beam splitter/combiner that splits the polarization controlled signal into a first polarization component and a second orthogonal polarization component. A first waveguide having a first grating receives the first polarization signal. A second waveguide having a second grating receives the second polarization signal. The chirp of the gratings may be linear, non-linear, or may have a more complex spatial dependence. The length of the gratings may be equal or greater than one meter.
