Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A directive optical device includes an optically active material which may be a light emitting material or a light collecting material. A partially reflective grating is disposed proximate to the optically active material.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A directive optical device, comprising: an optically active material having a first side and a second side and being capable of converting between an electrical voltage and light at a wavelength; a first electrical contact in electrical communication with the optically active material proximate to the first side, the first electrical contact being reflective at the wavelength; a second electrical contact in electrical communication with the optical…
