A laser cooling system includes a first tubing, a second tubing, and a cold plate assembly including a first channel to receive the first tubing and a second channel to receive the second tubing. A joint removably couples the first tubing to the second tubing and at least one component mounted on the cold plate assembly over the first tubing or the second tubing. The inlet end of the first tubing receives a cooling fluid and an outlet end of the second tubing discharges the cooling fluid after the cooling fluid flows through the first tubing, the joint, and the second tubing to maintain uniform a temperature of the at least one component mounted on the cold plate assembly. La présente invention concerne un système de refroidissement laser comportant un premier tube, un second tube et un ensemble plaque froide comportant un premier canal destiné à recevoir le premier tube et un second canal destiné à recevoir le second tube. Un joint accouple de manière amovible le premier tube au second tube et au moins un composant monté sur l'ensemble plaque froide sur le premier ou le second tube. L'extrémité d'entrée du premier tube reçoit un liquide de refroidissement et une extrémité de sortie du second tube évacue le fluide de refroidissement après que le liquide de refroidissement s'est écoulé à travers le premier tube, le joint, et le second tube, de façon à maintenir uniforme la température dudit composant monté sur l'ensemble plaque froide.
