A diode laser arrangement is disclosed wherein a radiation source is designed
which
can be scaled with respect to power such that different types of cooling can be
applied and the configuration of the radiation field is suitable for adapting to
different tasks in a simple manner. For this purpose, every diode laser is connected
to a thermal contact surface of a separate, heat-spreading carrier which is fastened
to a cooling surface of a common cooling element so as to be electrically insulated.
The carriers are arranged adjacently in such a way that the line-shaped emission
regions of the diode lasers are adjacent in series and the p-n junction planes
extend parallel to the thermal contact surfaces. The diode laser arrangement is
particularly suitable as a pump light source.
