Dear all, I'm looking for a 'simple' way to attach a laser diode *chip* directly to a substrate (just R&D work, not for production :-) that would allow proper cooling, so that the LD can be operated. Is it possible directly on silicon? Any help will be appreciated! Note that I don't want to attach the LD just to be able to take SEM pictures (this I know how to do :-), I really want the thing to work (for the lead wire I'm using wire bonding).
