  • Patent number: 10193303
    Abstract: A semiconductor laser diode is specified, comprising a semiconductor layer sequence (1) with semiconductor layers applied vertically one above another with an active layer (11), which emits laser radiation via a radiation coupling-out surface during operation, wherein the radiation coupling-out surface is formed by a side surface of the semiconductor layer sequence (1), and a heat barrier layer (2) and a metallic contact layer (5) laterally adjacent to one another on a main surface (12) of the semiconductor layer sequence (1), wherein the heat barrier layer (2) is formed by an electrically insulating porous material (9). As a result, the heat arising during operation is conducted via the p-type electrode (5) to a heat sink (20) and the formation of a two-dimensional temperature gradient is avoided. A thermal lens in the edge emitter is thus counteracted. Furthermore, a method for producing a semiconductor laser diode and a semiconductor laser diode arrangement are specified.
