Laird Thermal Systems develops micro thermoelectric cooler for next generation optoelectronic components

Swelex is proud to introduce the Micro OptoTEC™ MBX series from Laird Thermal Systems. The series offers superior heat dissipation capabilities for optoelectronic applications with limited space.

Laird Thermal Systems has introduced its latest innovation: the OptoTEC™ MSX series of micro thermoelectric coolers, specifically designed to meet the deep cooling needs required in small optical devices. Developed to be integrated into various optical packages, including the commonly used TO-39, TO-46 and TO-8, these coolers 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 an up to 10 % increase in cooling capacity - all within a microscopic footprint. These optical TEAs are intended for use in high-performance image sensor applications that include analytical, industrial and aerospace applications.

The MSX series multi-stage TECs offer cooling-side micro-formats down to 2.0 x 4.0 mm and can achieve high heat dissipation capacities 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 guarantee high repeatability and long lifetime in optical environments.
