ColdPack – Adapter for Thermal Control
- Thermal control of laser diodes
- For temperature stabilization, rapid cooling/heating
- TO-3 adapter with four TECs and thermistor
- Particularly suitable for thermal tuning of DFB diodes
- Patented design (DE 19926801)
The ColdPack is a TO-3 adapter kit that houses any standard 9 mm or 5.6 mm laser diode. The package features an integrated thermistor and four thermoelectric coolers (TECs), which stabilize the laser temperature, or rapidly cool/heat the diode, as requested by the respective application. In conjunction with TOPTICA’s Diode Temperature Control DTC 110, a thermal stability of 1 mK is attained.
