Abstract

An optoelectronic component with a semiconductor body that comprises an active semiconductor layer sequence is disclosed, which is suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation of a first wavelength that is emitted from a front face of the semiconductor body. The component also comprises a first wavelength conversion substance following the semiconductor body in its direction of emission, which converts radiation of the first wavelength into radiation of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, and a first selectively reflecting layer between the active semiconductor layer sequence and the first wavelength conversion substance that selectively reflects radiation of the second wavelength and is transparent to radiation of the first wavelength.
