The LDM-4984T mount in this experiment achieved a case temperature control range of -5⁰C to 50⁰C at a maximum heat load of 1.5 W when bolted to an optical table. At higher heat loads, or when the mount is not bolted to an optical table, the minimum achievable stable temperature can be calculated from the equations above. It is important to note that when a laser diode is being operated, the heat load created is caused by the waste heat produced by the laser diode and the internal TEC of the laser package, if one is present. This value can be much higher than the output power of the laser, and it is this value that must be used in the above equations in order to obtain a meaningful estimate of minimum stable case temperature.
