  • Optoelectronic component and a method for producing the same
    Publication number: 20030164502
    Abstract: Optoelectronic component and method for producing the same To improve the permeability of a contact layer (6) of a light-emitting diode (1), it is proposed to provide the contact layer (6) with openings (8) through which photons generated in a pn junction (5) can escape. Small spheres, for example of polystyrene, are used to produce the openings (8). FIG.

  • Semiconductor component which emits radiation, and method for producing the same
    Publication number: 20030127654
    Abstract: This invention describes a radiation-emitting semiconductor component with the a multilayered structure (4) that contains a radiation-emitting active layer (5), and a window (1) transparent to radiation that has a first principal face (2) and a second principal face (3) opposite the first principal face (2), and whose first principal face (2) adjoins the multilayered structure (4).

  • LED with a coupling-out structure
    Publication number: 20030122145
    Abstract: On an upper side there is a structured output coupling layer with flanks which are aligned at an angle between 60° and 88° with respect to a layer plane and which form boundaries for output coupling areas provided for the emergence of radiation and offset from one another. The output coupling areas are formed as flat truncated cones and can be rippled or zigzagged at the flanks, in order to increase the probability that the radiation produced strikes an outer interface of the output coupling layer more steeply than at a limiting angle of total reflection.

  • Optically pumped, surface-emitting semiconductor laser device and method for the manufacture thereof
    Publication number: 20020001328
    Abstract: The invention is directed to an optically pumped surface-emitting semiconductor laser device having at least one radiation-generating quantum well structure and at least one pump radiation source for optically pumping the quantum well structure, whereby the pump radiation source comprises an edge-emitting semiconductor structure. The radiation-generating quantum well structure and the edge-emitting semiconductor structure are epitaxially grown on a common substrate. A very efficient and uniform optical pumping of the radiation-generating quantum well structure is advantageously possible with this monolithically produced semiconductor laser device. Methods for manufacturing inventive semiconductor laser devices are also specified.
