Claim 21:
22. A laser diode system comprising:
a substrate having a laser diode emitter supported on a surface of the 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 substrate;
a cooling subsystem disposed in contact with the surface of the substrate of the laser diode emitter, the cooling subsystem including a plurality of cooling elements projecting outwardly and helping to at least partially define a plurality of elongated channels for circulating a cooling fluid therethrough to cool the laser diode emitter and the substrate supporting the laser diode emitter, and the plurality of elongated channels further being laterally spaced apart from the substrate; and
wherein the cooling fluid also flows over the facet of the laser diode emitter.
