Abstract
A plate of metal is bonded to a plate of and electrical insulator and the metal is cut through into a plurality of parallel channels, or recesses, each of a dimension to receive a laser diode (bar). A laser diode is positioned in each of the channels and a solder preform, positioned on the top of the laser diode bars. Is heated to flow around each laser diode bar to secure it in place. A highly manufacturable laser diode assembly having a higher heat capacity results for bonding to a heat sink.
