Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9825313A1] A radiation emitting device includes an optical micro-cavity bounded by first and second reflective boundaries (33, 39), at least one of said reflective boundaries (39) has associated therewith inhibiting means, such as an array of hillocks or dimples, to inhibit the coupling of radiation from within the micro-cavity (31) to predetermined propagation modes, such as surface plasmon polaritons, associated with at least one of the reflective boundaries.
