Abstract: A laser diode bar is separated into laser diode dice after bonding the laser diode bar to a submount. In one embodiment a GaAs laser diode bar is soldered to a diamond submount with gold—tin solder. The difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the submount material and the laser bar material is sufficient to create tensile stress in the laser diode bar and cleave the laser diode bar into dice as the assembly cools from the soldering temperature. Use of an electrically insulating submount material allows the laser diodes to be connected in series. Diamond blanks that are essentially un-metallized submounts are used during assembly to avoid bowing, or “smile”, of the laser diode assembly.
