Optoelectronic component and method for the production thereof

An optoelectronic component comprising:

• an electrically conductive first contact layer arranged on a carrier substrate;
• an electrically conductive platform arranged on the first contact layer which is made in one piece with the first contact layer;
• at least one laser diode arranged on the platform being electrically connected to the at least one laser diode;
• and
• an electrically conductive second contact layer which is electrically coupled to the at least one laser diode,
• wherein the platform has such a height that a laser facet of the at least one laser diode has such a vertical distance from the carrier substrate that a light cone emitted by the laser diode through the laser facet does not impinge on the carrier substrate within a predefined horizontal distance from the laser facet, and
• wherein the projection area of the first contact layer viewed in the direction perpendicular to the carrier substrate is larger than the projection area of the platform viewed in the direction perpendicular to the carrier substrate.
