Laser device and method for manufacturing a laser device

A method for manufacturing a laser device, wherein

• an optoelectronic component, which is configured to emit laser radiation, is arranged on a carrier, and
• an optical element, which is configured to shape the laser radiation emitted by the optoelectronic component, is applied to the optoelectronic component,
• wherein the optical element comprises a first layer at least partially transparent to the laser radiation and having a first refractive index and a second layer at least partially transparent to the laser radiation and having a second refractive index,
• wherein the first layer is applied to the optoelectronic component and comprises a surface with an imprinted structure,
• wherein the second layer is applied to the surface comprising the imprinted structure of the first layer, and
• wherein the optoelectronic component is embedded in a layer of electrically insulating material and the height of the electrically insulating material substantially corresponds to the height of the side edges of the optoelectronic component such that the top surface of the layer of electrically insulating material is substantially flush with a main surface of the optoelectronic component.
