Abstract:
1. An emitter package, comprising: a casing comprising a cavity extending into the interior of said casing from a top surface of said casing; and a lead frame integral to said casing, said lead frame comprising a plurality of electrically conductive carrier parts each holding at least one of a plurality of light emitting devices, said light emitting devices arranged in linear alignment and emitting out said cavity, said lead frame also allowing for an electrical signal to be applied to said light emitting devices through said lead frame, wherein said lead frame further comprises through-holes and V-cuts, wherein said V-cuts are disposed into said lead frame on planes running generally perpendicular to the surface of said lead frame, wherein at least some of said through-holes intersect with at least some of said V-cuts, said holes and cuts fitting with said casing; wherein each of said carrier parts further comprises an integral thermally conductive body extending at least partially through to the bottom of said casing.
