<p>A laser diode grid element is disclosed, comprising
- a plurality of laser diodes adapted for generating a corresponding plurality of laser beams and the plurality of laser diodes being arranged along a corresponding substantially flat surface;
- a collimation means for each the laser diodes, adapted for generating a collimated light beam from a corresponding laser beam, the collimated light beams being substantially perpendicular on the respective substantially flat surface;
wherein the laser diodes are comprised in standard packages, the standard packages comprising a base plate serving as cooling surface of the laser diode, a metal housing arranged on the base plate to protect the laser diode, and at least two driving pins which extend from the laser diode through the base plate and which are used for driving the laser diode within the package; and wherein the laser diode grid element comprises a heat sink, the heat sink being arranged in contact with the base plates, and wherein the at least two driving pins of each laser diode extend at least partially through the heat sink; light emitting systems comprising such grid elements, and an optical component for use in such system</p> |
