METHOD FOR MOUNTING A LASER DIODE ON A HEAT SINK, LIGHT EMITTING UNIT MOUNTED USING THIS METHOD AND MOTOR VEHICLE HEADLAMP WITH SUCH A LIGHT EMITTING UNIT

The invention relates to a method for mounting a laser diode (12) on a heat sink (18), the laser diode (12) having a housing (14) with a flange (16) extending over an outer peripheral surface of the housing (14). The laser diode (12) is placed in or on a mounting position (18a) of the heat sink (18), a holding element (20) at least partially enclosing the laser diode (12) is separated from the side of the laser diode (12) remote from the heat sink (18) placed on this, wherein the holding element (20) at least indirectly on an upper side of the flange (16) is supported, and the holding element(20) on the heat sink (18) is attached. It is proposed that an elastic compensation element (24) be arranged between the retaining element (20) and the upper side of the flange (16) of the housing (14) of the laser diode (12). 本发明涉及用于将激光二极管(12)安装在冷却体(18)上的方法，其中，激光二极管(12)具有壳体(14)，壳体具有至少在壳体(14)的外周面上延伸的法兰(16)。将激光二极管(12)放置在冷却体(18)的安装位置(18a)之中或之上，将至少局部地包围激光二极管(12)的保持元件(20)从激光二极管(12)的背离冷却体(18)的侧套置到该激光二极管上，其中，保持元件(20)至少间接地支撑在法兰(
