A semiconductor laser module includes a semiconductor laser element that outputs a laser beam, a cathode that is for causing a current to flow through the semiconductor laser element, and a heat sink that dissipates heat generated in the semiconductor laser element. The heat sink includes an anode, a first insulating layer located at a position farther away from the semiconductor laser element than the anode, and a water passage portion located at a position farther away from the semiconductor laser element than the first insulating layer. The water passage portion is formed by metal and includes a part of a flow path of water for dissipation of heat generated in the semiconductor laser element.

A monolithic edge emitting semiconductor laser comprising multiple laser diodes using aluminum indium gallium arsenide phosphide AlInGaAs/InGaAsP/InP material system, emitting in long wavelengths (1250 nm to 1720 nm). Each laser diode contains an active region comprising aluminium indium gallium arsenide quantum wells (AlInGaAs QW) and aluminum indium gallium arsenide (AlInGaAs) barriers and is connected to the subsequent monolithic laser diode by highly doped, low bandgap and low resistive indium gallium arsenide junction called tunnel junction.

An ophthalmic portable laser slit lamp for ophthalmic examination and a method of eye inspection. The device comprises a portable housing containing an electronic timer circuit, a rechargeable battery, a laser module containing a laser emitting diode, a fixed focusing lens that sets the appropriate focal distance for the examination method and a line generator lens acting as a slit aperture. The laser beam aimed to the eye of the patient illuminates the eye with a very thin straight laser line at a fixed focal distance. The device also comprises a safety timer circuit that protects the patients eye against irradiation overload. The method of the invention allows the surgeon to detect surgical eye disorders at the operating room and helps to carry out a correct diagnosis in a much more precise and effective way than any light or laser spot device.

A light source module, which includes a heat sink, a laser assembly, a circuit board assembly, a conductive material, and multiple lock members, is provided. The circuit board assembly includes a circuit board, which has an accommodating opening that corresponds to a beam emitter of the laser assembly. The lock members respectively pass through third lock holes of the circuit board assembly, second lock holes of the laser assembly, and first lock holes of the heat sink in sequence, thereby locking the circuit board assembly and the laser assembly on the heat sink. The accommodating opening of the circuit board exposes the beam emitter, and the conductive material connects two conductive pads of the laser assembly to two corresponding electroplated through holes, thereby enabling the laser assembly to be electrically connected to the circuit board assembly. A projector including the light source module is also provided.

Embodiments herein relate to an apparatus for use in a hybrid laser. The apparatus may include a silicon substrate and a waveguide to facilitate transmission of an optical signal in a first direction that is orthogonal to a surface of the silicon substrate. The apparatus may further include a metal shunt that is less than or equal to 10 micrometers from the waveguide in a second direction that is orthogonal to the surface of the silicon substrate and orthogonal to the first direction. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

A radiative heatsink includes a cold plate, a radiator mounted to the cold plate and a thermal compound located between and coupling the heat source to the cold plate. The thermal compound converts a portion of a first phononic thermal energy from the heat source into a first photonic near-field and a first photonic far-field thermal radiation and transfers the first photonic near-field, the first photonic far-field and the remaining of the first phononic thermal energy to the cold plate. The cold plate combines the first photonic near-field, the first photonic far-field and the remaining first phononic thermal energy into a second phononic thermal energy and provides the second phononic thermal energy to the radiator. The radiator converts the second phononic thermal energy into a second photonic near-field and a second photonic far-field and emits the second photonic near-field or the second photonic far-field such that cold plate is regenerated.
