Abstract
In various embodiments, a laser emitter such as a diode bar is cooled during operation via jets of cooling fluid formed by ports in a cooler on which the laser emitter is positioned. The jets strike an impingement surface of the cooler that is thermally coupled to the laser emitter but prevents direct contact between the cooling fluid and the laser emitter itself.
