SURFACE-EMITTING SEMICONDUCTOR LASER COMPONENT FEATURING EMISSION IN A VERTICAL DIRECTION

摘要

Disclosed is a surface-emitting semiconductor laser component, especially an electrically pumped semiconductor laser component, which features emission in a vertical direction and is used for generating laser radiation by means of an external optical resonator (4,5). Said semiconductor laser component comprises a semiconductor element with a sequence (2) of semiconductor layers which is provided with a lateral main direction of extension and an active zone (3) used for generating radiation. A radiation-permeable contact layer (6) is disposed within the resonator and is connected to the semiconductor element in an electrically conducting manner.
