Abstract
In an embodiment an edge-emitting laser bar includes an AlInGaN-based semiconductor layer sequence having a contact side and an active layer, a plurality of individual emitters arranged next to each other and spaced apart from one another in a lateral transverse direction, a plurality of contact elements arranged next to each other and spaced apart from one another in the lateral transverse direction on the contact side for making electrical contact with the individual emitters, and a thermal decoupling structure in a region between two adjacent individual emitters, wherein the decoupling structure includes an electrically conductive cooling element located on the contact side and completely covering a contiguous cooling region of the contact side, wherein the cooling element is completely electrically isolated from the semiconductor layer sequence and thermally coupled to the semiconductor layer sequence along the cooling region, and wherein the cooling region has a width, measured along the lateral transverse direction, which is at least half a width of an adjacent contact region.
