Reliable Cooling of High-Power Laser Diode Arrays

From Northrop Grumman - Cutting Edge Optronics
 

 

Northrop Grumman / Cutting Edge Optronics has developed a line of microchannel-cooled laser diode arrays in which the coolant is electrically isolated from the current path. As a result, these arrays do not require the use of deionized water. The thermal performance of these arrays is presented and, in one case, shown to far exceed the performance of standard copper microchannel-cooled packages. This sets them apart from other non-DI microchannel coolers currently on the market which typically have worse thermal performance than copper MCCs.
