  • Publication number: 20170299128
    Abstract: A linear lamp is provided having one or more light emitting elements provided therein. The light emitting elements are directed to emit light in a direction different from the primary direction of the illumination of the lamp. The light emitting elements may be supported by a supporting optical element. The supporting optical element may permit the transmission of light therethrough. The supporting optical element may be an integral window upon which the light emitting elements are disposed.

  • Publication number: 20050142876
    Abstract: A method of maskless lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO) of aluminum nitride (AlN) and high aluminum composition aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) layers by crystal growth techniques, such as metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE), other vapor phase transport techniques such as sublimation, and Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). The process etches periodic patterns into a suitable material, such AlN or high aluminum composition AlGaN base layers heteroepitaxially grown on a substrate or a substrate itself. A lateral epitaxial overgrowth is performed of the AlN or high aluminum composition AlGaN layers on the suitable material. Lateral epitaxial overgrowth of the AlN or high aluminum composition AlGaN layers may be enhanced by using low V/III ratios and fast growth rates. The process reduces the threading dislocation density (TDD) in high Al containing nitrides by several orders of magnitude.
