Advice needed on cooling a multi diode setup

[Badpip]

your going to combine three loc red diode which can operate up to 70degrees i think it is.

id save your money and not bother tec'ing. all you need is decent diode holders and a decent base plate.

three loc will not produce hardly any heat and will not affect alignment.

Since I'll be cooling the whole assembly I can try it out without TECs first.
Should I get walking optics, adding them will be simple.

kvant use 642nm diodes we have a completely different spec to loc's.

The PBSed diode will most likely be replaced with a 637nm in the future - but then again, adding a TEC or two to cool the whole thing is easy as pie

your optics w2il be fine.

but if you plan to swap them out for different diodes then a tec may be necessary
