LED detector heating

[Mitch]

Hello,
I am working with a 4.3 and 3.6um LEDs but i'm running into a
problem, the detector is heating up. Is there a workable way to slow
down the pulse rate of the LED driver? If so will it lower the
temperature? Any thoughts would be great. Thanks, Mitch

lower the voltage to the LED's

i assume your diodes maybe connected to a common neutral source?
if so then place a diode in series. that will drop it by .6
