A first thermoelectric cooler is also located in the enclosure and in thermal conduction with the optical component. A temperature sensor is located in the enclosure and electrically connected to at least one of the electrical connections. A second thermoelectric cooler, which is located external to the enclosure, is in thermal conduction with the enclosure.
