Temperature RTD’s are widely used in optical systems to control the temperature of lenses and the thermal management of laser modules. The optical systems are often compact while operating at high power levels, which leads to great temperature gradients inside the systems. An optimized optical power output is reached when a good thermal management is achieved along with a precise, reliable temperature measurement, which represents the real capture of the optical components inside the system.  

To better detect the temperature of the optical components instead of the various temperature gradients from the system, IST developed a number of specialized products. We provide consulting and support for an optimized placement and usage or our components, helping you reduce the thermal mass and achieve a perfect thermal bond between the sensor and the optical component.  The thermal management is further improved by the complete consideration of the chip's wiring system, as often some of the thermal energy is distributed between the measurement point and carried away through the wire’s terminals attached to the sensors.
