The invention relates, inter alia, to a method for producing an electro-optical component (10, 200) suitable for emitting electromagnetic radiation (120). In said method, a first intermediate layer (60) is applied to a substrate, a second intermediate layer (70) is applied to the first intermediate layer, and after the second intermediate layer has been applied, the buried first intermediate layer is locally modified, wherein the local modification of the buried first intermediate layer causes a sudden refractive index increase in the lateral direction which affects a lateral wave guidance of the electromagnetic radiation (120) in the unmodified region of the first intermediate layer. |
