Advanced Thermoelectric Technology for Thermal Management of Optoelectronics Applications
Advanced Thermoelectric Technology for Thermal Management of Optoelectronics Applications

Tue, Jun 11, 2024 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
For too long, thermoelectric technology has lagged behind the advancing needs of optoelectronic devices and systems. While the optoelectronics field has seen significant improvements in transmission rates, operating temperatures, and miniaturization, thermoelectrics have remained stagnant. Sheetak is revolutionizing this landscape by developing and commercializing advanced thermoelectric architectures that enhance efficiency, cooling density, and reliability, tailored to the scale and form factors required for modern temperature-controlled devices. Based in Austin, Texas, Sheetak boasts more than 100 years of combined experience in thermoelectric and thermal management technologies. Join this presentation for an introduction to Sheetak, a showcase of their current thermoelectric products, and a preview of their groundbreaking silicon-based QOOL CHIP thermoelectric architecture.

Thermal Modeling of Lasers in Manufacturing Processes
Thermal Modeling of Lasers in Manufacturing Processes

Thu, Jun 13, 2024 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT
For the modeling of lasers in manufacturing processes, it is common to treat the laser as a spatially, or volumetrically, distributed heat source that moves and reorients over time. COMSOL Multiphysics® provides a computational modeling platform that can be used to easily model such heat sources. Beyond just the modeling of heating profiles over time, it is also possible to model phase change, ablation, and irreversible transformations. Applications of these modeling techniques include precision fabrication processes, medical treatments, and additive manufacturing. This webinar presents an overview of laser thermal modeling and a demonstration of the software in action. Presented by COMSOL.
