Abstract
The present invention is a multiple spot laser assembly, comprising a plurality of laser diodes, and a plurality of mounts, which include a support surface, upon which the laser diode are permanently affixed. The mounts, including the base plate and/or heat sink, further include a mating feature along an edge thereof for aligning a first mount with an adjacent mount, the two mounts abutting along at least one common edge. The mating features assure the accurate alignment of the laser diodes on the adjacent mounts when the mounts are assembled into a multispot laser light source.
