Abstract

Methods and systems are provided that may be used to utilize and manufacture a light sources apparatus. A first light emitting diode emits light having a first wavelength, and a second light emitting diode for emitting light having a second wavelength. Each of the first and second light emitting diodes may comprise angled facets to reflect incident light in a direct toward a top end of the first light emitting diode. The second light emitting diode comprising angled facets may reflect incident light in a direction toward a top end of the second light emitting diode. A first distributed Bragg reflector is disposed between the top end of the first light emitting diode and a bottom end of the second light emitting diode to allow light from the first light emitting diode to pass through and to reflect light from the second light emitting diode.
