A heat sink has a first flat plate, a partition plate, and a second flat plate. The first flat plate has an upper surface in which a first recess is formed. The second flat plate has a lower surface in which a second recess is formed, and an upper surface on which a semiconductor laser element is mounted. These recesses form a part of a refrigerant channel. The partition plate has a lower surface covering the first recess, an upper surface covering the second recess, and at least one through hole having the first recess communicated with the second recess. The first flat plate and the second flat plate both have a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The partition plate has a second coefficient of thermal expansion lower than the first coefficient of thermal expansion.

An optical condenser device has light sources (10, 20) and an optical combiner (30). Each light source (10, 20) includes a semiconductor laser array stack (12, 22), collimator lenses (16, 26), and beam converters (18, 28). Since the optical combiner (30) combines the beams from one (12) of the stacks and the beams from the other (22), a laser beam with high optical density is generated. The optical combiner (30) has transmitting portions (32) and reflecting portions (34), each of which preferably has a strip-like shape elongated in the layering directions of the stacks (12, 22). In this case, the beams emitted from the active layers (14, 24) will be received and combined appropriately by the optical combiner (30) even if positional deviation of the active layers (14, 24) occurs.

A laser apparatus (10) has a plurality of light sources (11a to 11c) that include laser array stacks (12a to 12c). Laser beams (32b, 32c) are respectively deflected by a slit mirror (14) and a polarizing beam splitter (16) and synthesized with other laser beams (32a). These laser beams have optical axes that are inclined with respect to each other and slow axis directions that are mutually parallel. A converging optical system (20) converges the laser beams from the respective light sources at positions that are separated along a direction perpendicular to the slow axis directions.
