Laser package and method for manufacturing a laser package

A method for manufacturing a laser package comprising:

• providing a laser device configured to emit laser radiation through at least one laser facet on a front side surface of the laser device;
• providing an electrically conductive heat sink;
• and
• providing a contact layer between the laser device and the electrically conductive heat sink;
• wherein the contact layer comprises a nanowire structure formed from an electrically conductive material;
• wherein the contact layer comprises at least one first region and at least one second region each comprising the electrically conductive material and the at least one first region has a higher material density of the electrically conductive material than the at least one second region, and
• wherein the at least one first region is arranged adjacent to the at least one laser facet.
