Claim 12:
13. A laser diode system comprising:
a laser diode substrate having a plurality of laser diode emitters supported on the laser diode substrate, and a facet at one end of each one of said plurality of said laser diode emitter from which a laser beam is emitted;
a cooling subsystem in contact with the plurality of laser diode emitters and including a base portion and a plurality of cooling fluid flow channels formed by a plurality of elongated fins projecting outwardly from the base portion, the plurality of elongated fins being sufficient in number to span substantially a full width of all of the plurality of laser diode emitters and being laterally spaced apart from the laser diode substrate;
the plurality of cooling fluid flow channels configured to circulate a cooling fluid therethrough to cool the plurality of laser diode emitters and the laser diode substrate on which the plurality of laser diode emitters is mounted; and
wherein the cooling fluid flows over the facet of each one of the plurality of laser diode emitters.
