`,
`short diltancc below a semiconductor-air interface. Consider a light ray emitted from the source
`at an ingle 0 with respect to the surface normal. The light ray is refracted at the
`I

`Several other surface shapes are also shown in Figi.5.5. These non-planar surfaces cxhibit
`various emission pattems. An isotropic emission patbr,l is obtained for hemispherically shapcd
`LEDs, which havc the light.emitting rcgion in the cqLter of the sphere. A strongly dircctcd
`emission pattern can be obtained in LEDs witfr parab8[cally shaped surfaces. However, both
`hcmispherical as well as parabolic surfaces arc difficult io fabricate.
