PACKAGE FOR EDGE-EMITTING LASER DIODES

摘要

Various implementations relating to an illumination package including an edge-emitting laser diode (EELD) are disclosed. In one embodiment, an illumination package includes a heat spreader including a base and a stub that extends from the base, an EELD configured to generate illumination light, the EELD being mounted to a side surface of the stub, and a substrate coupled to the base at a location spaced from the EELD, the substrate being electrically connected to the EELD.
