There is disclosed an electronic apparatus comprising a chip (11) within a casing (13). A thermoelectric cooler (14) has thermal connections to the chip and the casing and is configured to transport heat from the chip to the casing. A temperature measuring device (15) is provided for determining the temperature of the chip. A control system is configured to maintain the chip at a target temperature by controlling current supplied to the thermoelectric cooler in response to the measured temperature. A temperature selection system is configured to select the chip target temperature dynamically on the basis of the casing temperature.
摘要:
A high power laser source comprises a bar of laser diodes, a submount onto which said laser bar is affixed, and a cooler onto which said submount is affixed. The laser bar has a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEbar), the submount has a second coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEsub), and the cooler has a third coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEcool) the third coefficient (CTEcool) being higher than both said first coefficient (CTEbar) and said second coefficient (CTEsub). Contrary to the usual approach with a CTEsub matching the CTEbar, the second coefficient (CTEsub) is selected lower than both said first coefficient (CTEbar) and said third coefficient (CTEcool) according to the invention. A preferred range is CTEsub=k*CTEbar, with 0.4
