High power semiconductor disk lasers (SDLs) were demonstrated based on the thermal management using pre-metalized diamond heat-spreader. The processing of pre-metallization using Cu-Sn alloy was developed. The resultant and influence of pre-metallization on the thermal performance of SDLs were investigated. It was found that the pre-metalized diamond heat-spreader was able to improve effectively not only the thermal resistance but also the bonding quality. 38% decrease on the thermal resistance of SDL was realized. The CW power exceeding 27 W, limited by the available pump power, was demonstrated.
