US Patent 7154926 Laser diode module, laser apparatus and laser processing apparatus

Submount substrates are connected to both sides of a laser diode via hard solders. The lower submount substrate and a heat sink are connected together by a soft solder. The heat sink and a presser electrode are fixed with a predetermined gap therebetween via an insulating spacer. A coil electrode is fitted in a V-shaped groove of the presser electrode. As the coil electrode is deformed slightly elastically, the coil electrode is pressed against the upper submount substrate.
