Electronics Optoelectronics coolers Laird optical opto optoelectronics thermal thermoelectricaLAIRD THERMAL SYSTEMS OptoTEC MSX Series micro multistage thermoelectric coolers have the capability to integrate into various optical packages, including widely used TO-39, TO-46, or TO-8, creating advanced Optical Thermoelectric Assemblies (TEAs). Products utilize advanced ceramic materials, proprietary solder bonding techniques and next-generation thermoelectric materials to boost cooling capacity by as much as 10% – all in a micro footprint. Optical TEAs serve high-performance image sensing applications commonly used in analytical, industrial and aerospace applications. Devices offer micro footprints on the cold side down to 2.0 x 4.0mm with thicknesses down to 3.3mm for 2-stage, 3.8mm for 3-stage and 4.9mm for 4-stage coolers.
