Abstract
A light source includes a hot electron source comprising a cathode that generates an electron beam and an anode comprising a germanium containing material positioned adjacent to the cathode. The anode is biased so that the electron beam accelerates towards the anode where some electrons are absorbed and then relax to both direct energy bands and indirect energy bands causing stimulation of low energy electrons from the indirect energy band to the direct energy band, thereby creating electroluminescence.
