Abstract:
1. A system for reducing slow axis divergence in a laser diode component, the system comprising: a thermal management component; and one or more pedestal structures; each pedestal structure comprising a base and two support members, each support member being disposed along a length of the base and extending away from the base, one support member being disposed at one end of the base and another support member being disposed at another end of the base, a distance from said one support member to said another support member being substantially equal to a width of the base; the two support members being disposed on and in thermal and electrical connection to the thermal management component; the base being disposed away from the thermal management component; the width of the base of each one pedestal structure being substantially equal to a width of each one emitter in the laser diode component; wherein the laser diode component has one or more emitters; said each one pedestal structure is configured to be disposed substantially under said each one emitter; materials of the one or more pedestal structures being selected such that an effective thermal connection is established between the one or more emitters and thermal management component; a height of said each support member in one pedestal structure being a distance from the thermal management component to the base in said one pedestal structure.
