Cooling system and mounting for slab lasers and other optical devices

摘要: Apparatus for extracting heat from objects such as a slab laser having an accessible flat surface subject to being heated and including strip of material, preferably made wafer grade semiconductor, silicon or gallium arsenide, mounted in close proximity the so leave small gap therebetween uniform thickness over area said be cooled. A still gas fills volume which is sufficiently that serves effective transfer medium transferred thermal contact with on side away The invention has particular application cooling lasers.
