Abstract:
1. A semiconductor component comprising: an optically active layer operable to radiate electromagnetic radiation in at least one radiation direction, at least one cooling element for storing or dissipating heat generated by said optically active layer substantially annularly enclosing said optically active layer in a plane that is perpendicular to a radiation direction, and at least one coupling element that connects said optically active layer to said cooling element; wherein the at least one coupling element comprises at least one hollow space disposed above said optically active layer in the radiation direction, said at least one hollow space being partially or completely filled with a liquid coolant and configured to be flowed through by the liquid coolant, wherein a portion of said at least one hollow space is disposed above said optically active layer in the radiation direction so that the radiation at least partially passes the liquid coolant, and wherein a portion of said at least one hollow space is disposed in a substantially annular region above the cooling element in the radiation direction.
