摘要 |
The invention relates to an optically pumped, vertically emitting semiconductor laser comprising a highly reflective reflector layer (10) and a succession (14) of active layers, which are arranged on said reflector layer and emit illumination, the reflector layer (10) together with an external mirror (20) forming a laser resonator during operation. According to the invention, a heat sink (12), which is transparent to the emitted illumination, is located inside the laser resonator (10,20) in thermal contact with the succession (14) of active layers. Said heat sink consists of a material that has a higher thermal conductivity than the materials in the succession (14) of active layers. |
