Abstract
An incandescent microcavity lightsource 30 has an incandescent active region 13 capable of spontaneous light emission when heated. The incandescent microcavity lightsource 30 controls the spontaneous light emissions from said active region 13.
Claims40
A device comprising:
- an optical microcavity with an incandescent active region;
- said incandescent active region having an incandescent light source disposed therein for emitting light;
- said incandescent active region capable of having spontaneous light emission when heated;
- and
- said optical microcavity including means for controlling the spontaneous light emission from said active region.
