Abstract

A control system includes one or more laser diodes generating a spectral output at a specific center wavelength when the one or more laser diodes are at a target temperature range, one or more oscillating heat pipes, one or more sensors configured to monitor a current temperature of the one or more laser diodes, and a heater configured to generate heat. The one or more laser diodes are thermally coupled to the one or more oscillating heat pipes. The control system also includes one or more processors in electronic communication with the one or more laser diodes and the heater and a memory coupled to the one or more processors. The memory stores data into one or more databases and program code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the control system to instruct the heater to generate heat for pre-heating the one or more laser diodes to the target temperature range.
