Patent ID: 7672353

Claim:
A semiconductor laser device comprising: a substrate ( 3 ); an optically pumped surface-emitting vertical emitter ( 1 ) with a radiation-generating vertical emitter zone ( 5 ) on the substrate, wherein the vertical emitter ( 1 ) has a layer containing an organic material, wherein the organic material in the layer of the vertical emitter is a first organic material, is capable of generating radiation and is present in the vertical emitter zone ( 5 ); and a monolithically integrated pump radiation source ( 2 ) for the optical pumping of the vertical emitter ( 1 ) dimensioned for emission of pump radiation in a main pump radiation direction running transversely to a main radiation direction of vertical radiation from the vertical emitter ( 1 ), wherein the pump radiation source includes a second organic material; wherein first organic material or the second organic material is a polymer or includes a small molecule organic compound.
