Abstract
A laser diode grid element comprising laser diodes arranged along a corresponding substantially flat surface; and a collimator for each laser diode for generating collimated light beams substantially perpendicular on the respective substantially flat surface. The laser diodes are comprised in standard packages including 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. The laser diode grid element includes a heat sink arranged in contact with the base plates, and the at least two driving pins of each laser diode extend at least partially through the heat sink. Also provided are light emitting systems comprising such grid elements, and an optical component for use in such system.
