Abstract
Nonmonolithic laser arrays having a plurality of lasing elements mounted on one or more spacers which protrude from a thermally conductive support. The spacers ensure the accurate location and separation of the lasing elements, facilitate the orientation of the output laser beams, and enable low thermal, optical, and electrical cross-talk between the lasing elements.
