Radiation-emitting semiconductor component

摘要

A radiation-emitting semiconductor component, having a semiconductor layer sequence ( 1 ) with an active zone ( 2 ) provided for radiation generation and a first mirror arranged downstream of the active zone. The first mirror comprises a metal layer ( 4 ) and an intermediate layer ( 3 ) made of a radiation-transmissive and electrically conductive material, said intermediate layer being arranged on that side of the metal layer ( 4 ) which faces the active zone. The radiation-emitting semiconductor component is provided for operation with an optical resonator and for generating predominantly incoherent radiation as an RCLED or the radiation-emitting semiconductor component being provided for operation with an external optical resonator and for generating predominantly coherent radiation as a VECSEL.
