  • Patent number: 8598604
    Abstract: An optoelectronic component with a semiconductor body that comprises an active semiconductor layer sequence is disclosed, which is suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation of a first wavelength that is emitted from a front face of the semiconductor body. The component also comprises a first wavelength conversion substance following the semiconductor body in its direction of emission, which converts radiation of the first wavelength into radiation of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, and a first selectively reflecting layer between the active semiconductor layer sequence and the first wavelength conversion substance that selectively reflects radiation of the second wavelength and is transparent to radiation of the first wavelength.

  • Patent number: 8592236
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optically pumped surface-emitting semiconductor laser device, wherein a surface-emitting semiconductor laser layer sequence having a quantum confinement structure is applied onto a common substrate. The surface-emitting semiconductor laser layer sequence outside an intended laser region is removed and a region is exposed. An edge-emitting semiconductor layer sequence is applied onto the exposed region over the common substrate, wherein the exposed region is exposed via the removing step, and the exposed region is suitable for transmitting pump radiation into the quantum confinement structure. A current injection path is then formed in the edge-emitting semiconductor layer sequence.

  • Patent number: 8585246
    Abstract: An optoelectronic module for emitting monochromatic radiation in the visible wavelength range is specified. The module has a plurality of light emitting diode chips which generate UV radiation. The UV radiation is converted into light in the visible range, for example, into green light, by a wavelength converter. The coupling-out of light from the module is optimized by the use of two selectively reflecting and transmitting filters. This module can be used as a light source in a projection apparatus.
