Abstract
Disclosed are techniques related to reflectors having overall mesa shapes. Such a reflector may be formed over an overall mesa-shaped, layered structure of an apparatus for emitting light. The overall mesa-shaped, layered structure may comprise a mesa complement structure, a first-type doped semiconductor, a light emission layer, and a second-type doped semiconductor arranged in layers. Thus, the reflector may be configured to collimate light that emits from the light emission layer and reaches the reflector through the mesa complement structure.
