Abstract: A method of fabricating a light emitting device, comprising: providing a substrate; forming an undoped semiconductor layer on the substrate; forming a patterned metal layer on the undoped semiconductor layer; using the patterned metal layer as a mask to etch the undoped semiconductor layer and forming a plurality of nanorods on the substrate; and forming an light emitting stack on the plurality of nanorods to form a plurality of voids between the light emitting stack and the plurality of nanorods.

Abstract: A laser system which produces multiline emissions simultaneously and which is adapted for use in optical data processing systems. In particular, in a first embodiment, a unitary positive column laser comprises two sections, the first section comprising a positive column helium-cadmium laser, the second section comprising a positive column helium-neon laser, the first and second sections being in tandem. Each section may be excited separately such that optimum excitation for red laser light, produced by the helium-neon section, and blue laser light, produced by the helium-cadmium section, can be independently controlled. The present system also allows separate cadmium vapor pressure control by separately controlling the vaporization temperature of the cadmium and also allows confinement of the cadmium vapor whereby the vapor does not contaminate one of the optical windows which confines the active laser medium.

Abstract: A radiation emission device characterized by a cylindrical cathode enclosed by an elongated envelope having a body section and two end sections is disclosed. The device includes an anode terminal, coupled to the body section, which serves to provide electrical energy to excite metallic material inside the envelope. The device further includes a pair of cataphoresis terminals located along each end section to prevent the excited metallic material from drifting into contact with radiation transmission windows located at the terminus of each end section.

Abstract: A laser structure for generating white laser light when energized by a source of dc voltage. The laser tube structure comprises a gas-filled envelope having a longitudinal axis, an anode electrode forming a portion of the envelope. A hollow cathode is positioned within the envelope and coaxially disposed with respect to the anode electrode portion of the envelope. Members are coaxially aligned with the ends of the envelope such that a structure is provided for confining a gaseous medium therein, a dc voltage applied between the cathode and anode electrode creating a discharge therebetween, the discharge stimulating continuous wave laser emission along the longitudinal axis of the cathode, the laser emission comprising simultaneous multi-line emissions in the form of white light.
