Abstract:
In one embodiment of the invention, the semiconductor laser ( 1 ) comprises a semiconductor layer sequence ( 2 ). The semiconductor layer sequence ( 2 ) contains an n-type region ( 23 ), a p-type region ( 21 ) and an active zone ( 22 ) lying between the two. A laser beam is produced in a resonator path ( 3 ). The resonator path ( 3 ) is aligned parallel to the active zone ( 22 ). In addition, the semiconductor laser ( 1 ) contains an electrical p-contact ( 41 ) and an electrical n-contact ( 43 ) each of which is located on the associated region ( 21, 23 ) of the semiconductor layer sequence ( 2 ) and is configured to input current directly into the associated region ( 21, 23 ). The n-contact ( 43 ) extends from the p-type region ( 21 ) through the active zone ( 22 ) and into the n-type region ( 23 ) and is located, when viewed from above, next to the resonator path ( 3 ).

Claim (Index 12):
The semiconductor laser according to  claim 9 ,\n in which the electrical contact surfaces laterally protrude from the semiconductor layer sequence, viewed in a plan view of the p-conducting region, wherein the electrical contact surfaces are aligned parallel to the active zone.
