Laird Thermal Systems is developing micro-thermoelectric coolers for next-generation optoelectronic components

The team at Swelex are proud to present the Micro OptoTEC™ MBX series from Laird Thermal Systems. The series offers superior heat dissipation capability for optoelectronic applications with limited space.

Laird Thermal Systems has introduced its latest innovation: the OptoTEC™ MSX series of micro-thermoelectric coolers, specially designed to meet the intricate cooling needs required in small optical devices. These coolers, developed for integration into various optical packages, including the commonly used TO-39, TO-46, and TO-8, offer advanced thermal performance and enable the creation of advanced optical thermoelectric assemblies (TEAs).

What sets the MSX series apart is its use of advanced ceramic materials, unique soldering techniques, and next-generation thermoelectric materials, resulting in up to a 10% increase in cooling capacity – all within a microscopic footprint. These optical TEAs are intended for use in high-performance image sensor applications, including analytical, industrial, and aerospace applications.

MSX series multi-stage TECs offer micro-sized cooling side dimensions down to 2.0 x 4.0 mm and can achieve high heat dissipation capacities of up to 5 Watts, while requiring lower operating currents than traditional multi-stage coolers. Currently, the MSX series is undergoing Telcordia GR-468 CORE qualification to ensure high repeatability and long lifespan in optical environments.
