  • Abstract
    The analytical temperature profiles within the laser-diode-array heat sink are obtained using Green´s functions. In the formulas, the temperature profiles are a function of the construction parameters, material data and supply power only. The influence of the array construction parameters on the maximal temperature increase in the heat sink is shown. The derived formulas enable thermal optimisation of the array.
