Claim 0:
1. A laser diode system comprising:
at least one substrate having a laser diode emitter supported on a surface of the at least one substrate, the laser diode emitter emitting a laser beam from a facet at one end of the laser diode emitter, along an axis parallel to the surface of the at least one substrate;
a cooling subsystem disposed in contact with the surface of the at least one substrate of the laser diode emitter, and being independent of the substrate the cooling subsystem including a plurality of cooling fins spaced laterally of the substrate and forming a plurality of elongated cooling channels for circulating a cooling fluid therethrough to cool the laser diode emitter and the at least one substrate supporting the laser diode emitter; and
wherein the cooling fluid also flows over the facet of the laser diode emitter.
