Abstract
We present the concept of a novel resonant-cavity LED design where a symmet ric resonant cavity (RC) is added to the outcoupling reflector. Because of the peculiar characteristics of the resulting mirror, these so-called RC2 L ED's have a much higher extraction efficiency into a Limited NA as compared to conventional RCLED designs.
