Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention discloses a semiconductor laser heat dissipation device, in particular to the technical field of semiconductor lasers. Background Art
[0002] After years of development, semiconductor lasers have been widely used in many fields closely related to human life, such as optical fiber communication, optoelectronic integration, optical disk storage, pump light source, atmospheric environment detection, trace toxic gas analysis and molecular spectroscopy, due to their small size, light weight, low voltage and high power. Some of these applications have continuously put forward higher requirements for the output power of semiconductor lasers. Generally speaking, increasing the ridge width and operating current of semiconductor lasers are the most direct ways to increase the output power, but at the same time, it will also lead to an increase in the temperature of the active region of the semiconductor laser during operation. The temperature of the semiconductor laser during operation has a significant impact on its threshold current density, slope efficiency and spectral stability. Overheating of the light-emitting area can cause damage to the cavity surface of the light-emitting area or even device degradation, ultimately causing device failure. Therefore, effective heat dissipation is required. Usually, effective means to improve the heat dissipation of semiconductor lasers mainly include using device reverse soldering, using high thermal conductivity materials as device insulation layers, using buried heterojunction structures, and using high thermal conductivity heat sink materials.
[0003] Existing technologies primarily use materials such as copper or aluminum nitride as heat sinks. Copper offers lower costs and is suitable for large-scale deployment, but its thermal conductivity still lags behind some high-thermal-conductivity materials. Aluminum nitride, a new high-thermal-conductivity material, has a linear expansion coefficient that matches that of semiconductor materials, but it is easily corroded by aqueous solutions. Furthermore, the preparation process for aluminum nitride single crystals is complex and extremely expensive. Furthermore, under laboratory testing conditions, auxiliary methods such as circulating cooling water or even liquid nitrogen can generally be used to dissipate heat from the laser. However, such heat sinks are often bulky and complex, making modularization and miniaturization difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] 1) This device is equipped with a heat conduction panel, a semiconductor cooler, a heat dissipation module, and a jet pump. When the laser module is working, the cold surface of the semiconductor cooler contacts the heat conduction panel at the bottom of the laser module. The heat generated by the laser module is exchanged with the cold surface of the semiconductor cooler through the heat conduction panel. The heat generated by the hot surface of the semiconductor cooler is dissipated by circulating water cooling and cooling fins through forced air cooling by the jet pump. The jet pump is used to blow air to cool the cooling fins and the cooling water path, effectively reducing the size and noise of the semiconductor laser generator heat dissipation device.
[0012] 2) The device is provided with assembly sheet metal parts and a water tank. The water tank is separated from the heat dissipation module by the sheet metal parts. The assembly sheet metal parts seal the bottom of the fin radiator to form an air duct, so that the airflow generated by the jet pump can effectively take away the heat generated by the heat dissipation module. The assembly sheet metal parts can concentrate the modules, reduce the volume, and facilitate assembly and maintenance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
