‣Very miniature TO-style package with limited area for mounting.
‣Now is popular for VCSEL, photodetectors and other miniature electronic components.
‣Solutions with miniature single-stage thermoelectric coolers are possible.
‣The sub-mount base thermal resistance is high.
‣The mounting methods are soldering or gluing.
