Plate keeps high-power lasers running
cool
Cold plate is designed to temperature stabilise the most popular fibre coupled laser diodes with mounting patterns that can accommodate lasers made by QPC, Limo and nLight.
New from Elite Thermal Engineering, the model OCP-110 is a thermoelectric cold plate for fibre laser OEM or laboratory cooling applications It provides 110W of cooling capacity when set temperature is same as ambient, and the set temperature can be 48C below ambient when heat load is zero

Cold plates reduce laser diode's temperature
Elite Thermal Engineering recently released a series of high performance, high power thermoelectric cooling modules (cold plates) that are designed specifically for high power laser diodes.
Cold plate helps lasers keep their cool
Elite Thermal Engineering has developed a new record-setting cold plate for laser diode cooling.
All thermoelectric coolers in the device are environmentally sealed so that OCP-110 can operate reliably at below dewpoint set temperatures.
OCP-110 has a copper cold plate that provides much lower spreading resistance than aluminium.
Since its inception, Elite Thermal Engineering has focused on high performance cooling products that provide the highest cooling capacity per unit volume for photonics industry.
The demand for higher power fibre lasers is driving the development of ever-higher power pump lasers.
Elite's model OCP-110 is designed to temperature stabilise the most popular fibre coupled laser diodes with mounting patterns that can accommodate lasers made by QPC, Limo and nLight.
Most of the high power cold plates on the market are impingement cooled for its low thermal resistance; but it requires substantial open space in at least three sides of the module and it is hard to integrate them into laser products.
ETE's model OCP-110 is side cooled by ducting air through high density heatsinks; but with a high density heatsink and a set of high performance fans, OCP-110 provides more efficient cooling than what's on the market; it provides all the mounting features for directly integrating in a laser product; and it occupies less space than any cold plates on the market at 110W cooling capacity; OCP-110 also provides high quality screw terminal block for ease of connection.
