Modular package for cooling a laser diode array

摘要: A laser diode array is disclosed that includes a plurality of planar packages and active cooling. The may be operated in long duty cycle, or continuous operation. bar microchannel heat sink are thermally coupled compact, thin package having the located proximate to one edge. In an array, number such secured together stacked configuration, close proximity so diodes spaced closely. cooling means attached it absorbs generated by To provide coolant microchannels, each comprises inlet manifold outlet connected corridor corridor. hole extending through array. corridors conventional circulation system. with has application as optical pump for high power solid state lasers. Further, can incorporated equipment communications devices sensors, military space applications, useful applications constraints energy limitations.
