Fooling with a laser. I need to hook up some fancy controllers.
Looks like a thermistor in there with currently broken leads.
I wanted to see how much heat a 400-500 mw would generate, and
I guess its about that. I found the peltier element cooling backwards, but
then I thought its probably trying to heat up the laser which I had disconnected.
I should try it with the thermistor hooked up. Got some Newport equipment
to hook, and aparently there is no other feedback photodiode. That was
my main concern at this point.

Huh?
