Abstract
Thermal resistance and crosstalk have been investigated for a source package consisting of a monolithic, multilaser heterojunction array mounted on a single crystalline silicon substrate, which is in turn laminated to a copper heatsink. Models for 2-D and 3-D heat spreading are used to calculate the heat flow distribution and to obtain upper and lower bounds for both resistance of single devices and crosstalk in arrays. Results for experimental five-laser arrays are shown to fall within these limits. Active cooling is required to maintain junctions at safe operating temperatures prerequisite to stable, long-lived operation.
