Abstract
As the interest in low-threshold semiconductor laser diodes has grown, e.g., for optical interconnects, its spontaneously luminescent half-brother, the light-emitting-diode (LED) has begun to reemerge in a new form. In this new form, the LED is surrounded by an optical cavity. The idea is for the optical cavity to make available only a single electromagnetic mode for the output spontaneous emission from the semiconductor diode.
