Abstract
An optical assembly comprises a first semiconductor optical device and a second semiconductor optical device. The first and second semiconductor optical devices may, for example, be laser diodes or light-emitting diodes. In addition, the optical assembly includes an active cooling device that is in thermal contact with the first and second semiconductor optical devices. Advantageously, the active cooling device is operative to regulate the temperatures of both the first and second semiconductor optical devices.
