The present invention relates to a submount for a high power laser diode optical module having multiple wavelengths capable of integrating at least two laser diodes on one submount.
Generally, a laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER)) is a light emitted from a medium by an external stimulus and amplified by a resonator.
Such a laser is composed of an amplification medium, a resonator, and a pumping source, and is classified into a gas laser, a solid laser, a semiconductor laser, and an optical fiber laser depending on the kind of the medium.

Assuming that CoS of the same power is used, the optical power 40W of any one wavelength outputted from a general optical module (FIG. 7) outputting multiple wavelengths according to the present invention is a general optical module 2, which is the same value as the optical power 40W output from the optical module outputting one wavelength shown in FIG.
