Title: CTE-tuned pyrolytic graphite (PG) substrate to minimize joining stress between laser diode and the substrate

Patent ·
OSTI ID:2293845

A pyrolytic graphite (PG) substrate and laser diode package includes a substrate body having a PG crystalline structure with a basal plane oriented at a pre-determined orientation angle as measured from a longitudinal axis of a heat generating material, such as a laser diode, mounted on a surface of the PG substrate, so that a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the PG substrate is substantially matched with a CTE of the material.
