Abstract

The invention discloses a method for generating stable, full-time low noise laser output. The method includes the following steps: regulating and maintaining a semiconductor laser operating temperature by means of a thermoelectric controller (TEC) attached on the laser; generating a direct-current bias from a direct-current generator; generating an amplitude-modulatable radio frequency signal from a local oscillator; superposing the radio frequency signal onto the direct-current bias to generate amplitude-modulatable drive current; injecting the amplitude-modulatable drive current into the semiconductor laser by way of input-coupled impedance matching; regulating the direct-current bias by means of an automatic power control circuit; and optimizing the amplitude of the radio frequency signal. By modulating the driving of the semiconductor laser diode, the method effectively overcomes the mode hopping phenomenon, the method is applicable to laser diodes with various wavelengths, the generated laser output has the advantages of low coherence, low noise, little speckles, long-time stable output power and long-time uniform beam illumination, and the method is particularly suitable forbiomedicine and medical diagnosis and clinic.
