Integrated PIC chip heat removal for photonic waveguide alignment systems
Heat exchanger block is built into a fixed post for use in “X” configurations, with up to 4-sided alignment
Stable ambient temperature based on a large water reservoir
Dual symmetric flow paths through exchanger minimize thermal expansion
Compact machined heat exchanger block is located in proximity to the PIC chip
Compatible with Luminos Vacuum Part Holders for custom chip sizes
Optional Luminos Temperature Control Kit allows for closed loop operation
