Conductively cooled laser diode array

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6317840

Room temperature operation of a multiple laser diode array is enabled without the need for liquid cooling by interleaving individual laser diode assemblies with electrically insulating but thermally conducting spacer heat sink layers which have electrically conducting portions adjacent the laser diode assembly such that the multiplicity of individual laser diode assemblies within the array may be operated electrically in series. The alternating leaves of the array are confined between top and bottom end plates, and the entire assembly is secured together by appropriate means.
