Abstract

See full text

A heat sink for cooling a laser gain medium includes a coolant channel, an inlet pore, an outlet pore, and a thermal optical interface (TOI) channel. The coolant channel is configured to receive a coolant for removing heat from the heat sink. The TOI channel is coupled to the coolant channel by the inlet pore and the outlet pore. The TOI channel is configured to receive a portion of the coolant through the inlet pore. The received portion forms an ultra-thin liquid TOI. The TOI channel is further configured to return a portion of the TOI through the outlet pore to the coolant channel.
