<p>A radiation-emitting component (10) has a layered stack (1) based on semiconductor material and which has an active sequence (4) for generation of electromagnetic radiation, and a filter element (2) subordinate in the direction (A) of radiation to the active layer sequence (4) for transmitting a first radiation component and reflecting a second radiation component into the stacked layers (1) where the second radiation component undergoes a deflection process or an absorption- and emission-process with the resultant radiation passed to the filter again.</p>
