Abstract:
The invention relates to an optically pumped semiconductor laser device comprising a surface-emitting vertical emission region (1) and at least one monolithically integrated pump radiation source (2) for optically pumping the vertical emission region (1). Said semiconductor device is characterised in that the pump radiation enters the vertical emission region (1) in the form of partial radiation bundles with different radiation directions, such that the pump radiation overlaps with the basic mode of the vertical emission region (1) suitable for the excitation of the basic mode. The invention is based on the fact that preferably the basic mode of the vertical emission region (1) is excited when the spatial intensity distribution of the pump radiation is adapted to the profile of the basic mode.

The protective diode section (8) protects the semiconductor component from voltage pulses due to electrostatic discharges (ESD).
