  • Heat transfer strap
    Patent number: 4869068
    Abstract: Apparatus to provide a flexible thermal link between a laser diode mounting structure and a cold finger of a helium refrigerator. The thermal link employs a heat transfer means which substantially reduces vibration experienced by a laser mount in the several directions of motion, reduces thermally caused stresses from large temperature variations, and provides good thermal conductivity between the helium refrigerator and the mounting structure.
