  • Publication number: 20150055667
    Abstract: A laser component includes a housing in which a first carrier block is arranged. A first laser chip having an emission direction is arranged on a longitudinal side of the first carrier block. The first laser chip electrically conductively connects to a first contact region arranged on the first carrier block and a second contact region arranged on the first carrier block. There is a respective electrically conductive connection between the first contact region and a first contact pin of the housing and between the second contact region and a second contact pin of the housing.

  • Patent number: 8897327
    Abstract: A laser diode device including a housing having a mounting area in a cavity of the housing, at least one laser diode chip that emits electromagnetic radiation through a radiation exit area during operation, at least one covering element which is transmissive, at least in places, to the electromagnetic radiation generated by the laser diode chip during operation, and a deflection element, that directs at least part of the electromagnetic radiation generated by the laser diode chip during operation in a direction of the covering element, wherein the radiation exit area of the laser diode chip runs substantially transversely or substantially perpendicularly with respect to the mounting area and/or with respect to the covering element, the covering element connects to the housing, and the covering element tightly closes the housing.

  • Patent number: 8867582
    Abstract: A laser diode assembly includes a housing having a housing part and a mounting part that is connected to the housing part and that extends away from the housing part along an extension direction. A laser diode chip is disposed on the mounting part. The laser diode chip has, on a substrate, semiconductor layers with an active layer for emitting light. The housing part and the mounting part have a main body composed of copper and at least the housing part is steel-sheathed. A first solder layer having a thickness of greater than or equal to 3 ?m is arranged between the laser diode chip and the mounting part.
