Abstract

An optical device is provided. Multi-layer structures are disposed on a substrate, wherein each of the multi-layer structures is consisting of at least two insulated layers with different refractive indexes formed alternately. A buffer layer covers the multi-layer structures, so that said multi-layer structures are disposed between the buffer layer and the substrate, wherein said buffer layer is an un-doped GaN based semiconductor layer. A first conductive semiconductor layer is disposed on the buffer layer. An active layer is disposed on said first conductive semiconductor layer. A second conductive semiconductor layer is disposed on said active layer and a transparent conductive layer is disposed on said second conductive semiconductor layer.
