Abstract:
1. A laser apparatus comprising: a beam emitter having first and second opposed surfaces; a first electrode mount disposed beneath and in thermal and electrical contact with the first surface of the beam emitter; a second electrode mount (i) disposed over and in thermal and electrical contact with the second surface of the beam emitter and (ii) electrically insulated from the first electrode mount; a thermally and electrically conductive housing body disposed beneath the first electrode mount; an insulating layer (i) disposed over the housing body, (ii) electrically insulating the housing body from the first electrode mount, and (iii) providing thermal conductivity between the first electrode mount and the housing body; and a thermal bonding layer disposed between the insulating layer and the first electrode mount, the thermal bonding layer (i) improving thermal conduction between the first electrode mount and the insulating layer, and (ii) being electrically conductive.
