Precision Cooling for Peak Optical Performance

High-power optical systems, such as industrial lasers, high-output LEDs, co-packaged optics, and advanced ultraviolet (UV) sources, generate substantial thermal loads that require robust thermal management to ensure precise, stable operation. While passive cooling may suffice for low-power configurations, high-output devices require advanced solutions to prevent thermal drift, maintain beam quality, and avoid premature component degradation.

Advantages of Liquid-Cooled Optics

In high-power optical systems, even slight temperature variations can disrupt wavelength stability, degrade beam quality, and reduce overall efficiency. Traditional air and passive cooling methods often fail to meet the thermal demands of these applications, resulting in performance instability and shortened device lifespans.

Mikros Technologies’ liquid cooling systems deliver exceptional thermal performance for high-precision optical applications. Our advanced cold plate designs achieve ultra-low thermal resistance (<0.018 °C·cm²/W), enabling uniform heat removal and minimizing thermal gradients. This ensures lasers and optical devices maintain peak precision, reliability, and operational longevity—even under extreme thermal loads. These industry-leading heat transfer rates position our solutions among the most efficient liquid cooling technologies globally.
