Fig.1 Schematic of III-V mid-IR LEDs ("Big lens option"). 1 – p-type contact layer, 2 – n-type narrow gap layer, 3 – outcoupling substrate surface, 4 – cathode contact, 5 – cathode pad onto Si submount, 6 – Si submount, 7 – negative electrode, 8 – anode contact to mesa area, 9 – anode pad onto Si submount, 10 – positive electrode, 11 – Si hyperhemispherical lens, 12 – epoxy encapsulation, 13 – header. 

Optically pumped LED: 3 – GaAs LED, 13 – TO-39 package,  14, 15 – optical glue, 16 – InSb “phosphor”, hν1 > hν2 ( see US patent # 6 876 006  with grant date 5 April 2005)

Electrically pumped LED : 1 – p-InAsSbP, 2 – n-InAs(Sb), 3 – n+-InAs, 13 – screw header package, 14, 15, 16 – optical glue, hν1 = hν2.

"Small lens option" is described here.
