    摘要: An apparatus includes a body containing a vapor chamber and having first and opposing second major surfaces and a thermoelectric module having first and opposing second major surfaces. The second major surface of the body is in thermal contact with the first major surface of the thermoelectric module. A heat sink has a first major surface in thermal contact with the second major surface of the thermoelectric module. The thermoelectric module is configured to control a flow of heat between the body and the heat sink.

    摘要: A low power or passive optical apparatus provides temperature control of dynamic thermooptic devices and temperature-sensitive optical devices formed on the same substrate. The optical apparatus includes a variable heat transfer device with a conductive heat transfer component (e.g., heat pipe) and a heat-conductive interface component (e.g., heat sink) to exchange thermal energy with an external environment. In one embodiment, the heat pipe has a variable resistance and the heat sink has a fixed thermal resistance. In a second embodiment, the heat pipe has a fixed resistance and the heat sink has a variable thermal resistance. In another embodiment both the heat pipe and heat sink have variable thermal resistance. In another embodiment, the optical apparatus further includes a thermoelectric cooler and the variable heat transfer device (e.g., variable heat pipe and/or heat sink) is used to reduce the temperature range over which said thermoelectric cooler operates, resulting in a lower power requirement for the thermoelectric cooler.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a first thermally conductive body having a plurality of fingers and a second thermally conductive body having a plurality of fingers. The first and second bodies are configured such that the fingers of the first body are interdigitated with the fingers of the second body. Each of a plurality of thermoelectric modules has a first major surface and an opposing second major surface. The first major surface of each thermoelectric module is in thermal contact with one of the fingers of the first body, and the second major surface is in thermal contact with one of the fingers of the second body.
