<p>An improved thermally tunable system (100) is provided. The improved thermally tunable system includes a thermally tunable apparatus including a first portion and a second portion, a heater (190) configured to thermally tune the apparatus, and a heat sink (130) disposed adjacent to the apparatus, wherein thermal flow is controlled to pass from the heater (190) through the first portion of the apparatus, and then through the second portion into the heat sink (130), such that a temperature of the second portion remains substantially constant or within a predetermined range. A thermally conductive material (155) is provided between the second portion of the apparatus and the heat sink. A thermally insulating material (150) is provided between the first portion of the apparatus and the heat sink.</p> |
