Abstract
A semiconductor component for emitting light includes a main body that comprises at least one mesa body. The mesa body has an emission region for emitting the light. The emission region is assigned a first mirror portion, a second mirror portion, and an active portion arranged between the two mirror portions and serving to produce the light. The semiconductor component further includes electrical contacts for feeding electrical energy into the active portion, with at least one stress element that is attached to a surface of the main body. The stress element is configured to generate in the main body a material stress which has an effect on one or more polarization properties of the emitted light.
