Abstract
A system for cooling a mirror such as a laser mirror is provided. The system includes a mirror having a reflective surface and a plurality of coolant chamber cavities arranged in serial order from an inlet to an outlet. Restrictive flow passages formed within walls between the cavities control coolant flow and produce desired turbulence within the cavities for enhanced heat transfer from the mirror to the coolant.
