An example embodiment includes a retention spring. The retention spring includes a central portion, a coupling feature, and a spring arm. The central portion includes a heat sink contact surface configured to contact a detachable heat sink. The coupling feature is configured to mechanically couple the retention spring to an optical component. The spring arm connects the central portion to the coupling feature. The spring arm is configured to elastically deform to allow insertion of the detachable heat sink between the heat sink contact surface and a heat dissipation surface of the optical component and to at least partially retain the detachable heat sink against the heat dissipation surface.
