Stacked diode laser array assembly
A diode laser array assembly is described comprising: linear diode laser array subassemblies stacked one above another in parallel relation, each of the subassemblies having a support plate with first and second opposed major surfaces, a linear array of diode lasers mounted to a first of the major surfaces at a front edge of the support plate, and an electrically conductive path from the first major surface in parallel via wires through the linear array to the second major surface. Each of the subassemblies is electrically connected in series to at least one adjacent subassembly, the stacked subassemblies providing clearance between the linear arrays and adjacent subassemblies, and heat conducting path means for removing excess heat from the linear arrays.
