Background Art

[0002] VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) has become an important light source device in the fields of atomic magnetic measurement, optical communication, atomic clock, lidar, optical storage, etc. due to its advantages such as small size, high efficiency, and easy integration. In these applications, as the core light source, the performance of the VCSEL laser directly determines the overall performance index of the system. Especially in high-precision measurement systems, the requirements for its stability and reliability are particularly strict.

[0003] The frequency and wavelength of the VCSEL laser are extremely sensitive to temperature changes. Fluctuations in the ambient temperature will cause significant changes in its output characteristics, thereby affecting the accuracy and stability of the system. In order to meet the performance requirements of high-precision systems, it is necessary to maintain the stable operation of the VCSEL laser through precise temperature control.

[0004] Traditional electric heating methods generate Joule heat by driving a heater with current to regulate the temperature. However, according to the Biot-Savart law, a magnetic field is inevitably generated during the heating process by the current. This magnetic field interference will have an adverse impact on applications that require near-zero magnetic field or extremely low magnetic field noise. In addition, the materials used in many heating devices are magnetic, further increasing the complexity of magnetic field noise, making it difficult for traditional heating methods to meet the requirements of these specific scenarios.

[0042] A temperature control device for a magnetically shielded VCSEL laser includes a main control module, a high-frequency modulation module, a power supply module, a power amplifier module, and a heating module. The main control module realizes temperature setting, PID parameter adjustment, and real-time temperature monitoring through a host computer program. The data acquisition card collects temperature signals and outputs temperature control signals. The high-frequency modulation module multiplies the temperature control signal by a sine wave through a multiplier, and then uses a power amplifier to amplify the power of the modulated control signal to drive heating. The power supply module includes a switching power supply and a voltage stabilizing circuit to provide a smooth and stable DC voltage for the power amplifier module, reducing transient interference and high-frequency noise.

The thermistor detects the temperature in real time and feeds it back to the main control module to achieve closed-loop temperature control.

[0043] The main control module adjusts the temperature through the PID temperature control algorithm. By adjusting the control variable, the actual output is made as close as possible to the set value. The basic algorithm of PID is as follows:

[0044]

[0045] where t represents time, u(t) is the control signal, e is the difference between the temperature set value and the temperature measured value, and K c is the proportionality coefficient, and T i is the integral time constant, and T d is the differential time constant.

[0049] The double-layer 2 N pole pitch heating film material is selected as electroplated copper, with a size of 6.2mm * 6.2mm, distributed on both sides of the AIN substrate. Through symmetrical design, the upper and lower heating films are connected in series, and the magnetic fields generated by the currents cancel each other out to reduce the magnetic field noise.

[0050] The present invention provides a temperature control device for a magnetless packaged VCSEL laser in view of the defects or deficiencies of the prior art, and realizes temperature closed-loop control through a host computer program. This device can provide a highly stable working temperature and low magnetic field noise to solve the problems raised in the background technology.

[0051] A temperature control device for a non-magnetic encapsulated VCSEL laser: It includes five parts: a main control module, a high-frequency modulation module, a power supply module, a power amplifier module, and a heating module; the main control module is used for the control of the temperature control device, mainly including NIDAQ (National Instruments Data Acquisition), which is a series of hardware and software tools developed by National Instruments for collecting analog signals, digital signals, and other forms of data. A dedicated host computer program is used to set the temperature and PID (Proportion Integral Derivative) parameters. The NI board card completes data acquisition and outputs temperature control signals to achieve automatic temperature control; the high-frequency modulation module uses a multiplier to multiply the temperature control signal by a sine wave to modulate the heating drive voltage to a higher frequency, so that the original low-frequency noise is far from the measurement bandwidth of the system; the power supply module is used to regulate the voltage and provide a smooth voltage supply for the power amplifier module to reduce the influence of high-frequency noise or transient interference in the power supply on the device; the power amplifier module amplifies the input heating drive voltage to a level sufficient to drive the VCSEL laser without changing the characteristics of the signal; the heating module performs non-magnetic heating on the VCSEL laser and detects the temperature in real time.

[0052] The main control module described above includes an NI device, a data acquisition card, and a host computer program. The NI device is used to connect the data acquisition card and support the host computer program. The data acquisition card is used to collect the temperature signal. The host computer program is used to monitor the real-time temperature curve, set the desired temperature, and adjust the PID parameter settings. The host computer program is built in the LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) development environment.

[0053] The high-frequency modulation module described above modulates the drive current of the electric heating to a high-frequency band. Since the bandwidth of the precision measurement system is usually small and the response is in the low-frequency band, the high-frequency modulation effectively suppresses the low-frequency magnetic field noise generated by the electric heating.

[0054] The power supply module described above includes a switching power supply and a voltage stabilizing circuit. The switching power supply is a power supply device that converts the input 220V AC voltage into the electrical energy required by the voltage stabilizing circuit and the power amplifier module. The voltage stabilizing circuit is a circuit that provides a stable output voltage for the air-cooled radiator in the power amplifier module.

[0055] The power amplifier module consists of a first-stage voltage amplification circuit, a second-stage power amplification circuit, and an air-cooled radiator. The first-stage voltage amplification circuit is composed of a low-noise, precision operational amplifier to form a voltage amplification circuit, providing excellent low-noise and high-precision amplification performance and having good load driving ability. The second-stage power amplification circuit uses a high-frequency current feedback amplifier to form a power amplification circuit, which has a high output current and excellent large-signal characteristics, and efficiently amplifies the input high-frequency sinusoidal voltage signal to effectively drive the heating module. The air-cooled radiator is a heat dissipation device that uses air convection to reduce the temperature of the second-stage power amplification circuit chip. When the power amplifier is working, heat is generated because energy is lost when current passes through electronic components, and this energy is converted into heat, causing the temperature of the second-stage power amplification circuit to rise, resulting in performance degradation and shortened lifespan. By forcing air to flow through the fan, the heat is taken away from heat-conducting components such as the heat sink to achieve efficient heat dissipation of the device.

[0056] The heating module includes an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) negative feedback thermistor and a double-layer N pole pitch heating film. The double-layer N pole pitch heating film adopts a double-layer pasted-together method, N pole pitch coil configuration. The material is selected as electroplated copper, with a size of 6.2mm * 6.2mm. The upper and lower non-magnetic heating films are connected in series, and the magnetic fields generated by the current cancel each other out, further reducing the magnetic field generated by the heating film. The NTC negative feedback thermistor is a component whose resistance decreases as the temperature increases. The resistance value changes non-linearly with temperature and can be approximately described by the Steinhart-Hart equation:

[0057]

[0058] where T represents temperature, T 0 is the reference temperature, R T is the resistance value at temperature T, R 0 is the resistance value at the reference temperature T 0 and B is the material constant, which depends on the material characteristics of the thermistor.

[0059] Such as Figure 1Shown as follows: The present invention is a temperature control device for a magnetless packaged VCSEL laser, which includes five parts: a main control module, a high-frequency modulation module, a power supply module, a power amplifier module, and a heating module. The main control module is provided with a host computer panel (1), which is convenient for observing the temperature curve, setting and adjusting the PID parameters and the desired temperature. The output temperature control signal is modulated (3) by a sine signal (2), which can effectively reduce the low-frequency magnetic field noise. The power amplifier module includes a first-stage voltage amplification circuit, a second-stage power amplification circuit, and an air-cooled radiator, which generates a high-frequency sine temperature control signal (4). To ensure the stability of the power amplifier module, a switching power supply and a voltage stabilizing circuit in the power supply module provide stable power for the two-stage amplifier and the air-cooled radiator. The heating module is composed of a double-layer 2 N pole pitch heating film and an NTC negative feedback thermistor.

[0060] As Figure 2 shown: The material of the double-layer 2 N pole pitch heating film is selected as electroplated copper, and a 2 3 pole pitch heating film with a size of 6.2mm * 6.2mm is distributed on both sides of the AIN (aluminum nitride ceramic packaging substrate) substrate. The upper and lower heating films are connected in series, and the magnetic fields generated by the currents in the two adjacent heating films cancel each other out. The design ensures the symmetry of the coil distribution and avoids local overheating. The temperature of the heating film is detected in real time by combining the NTC thermistor, and the current is adjusted in cooperation with the PID controller to achieve precise control of the heating temperature.

[0061] As Figure 3 shown: The first-stage voltage amplification circuit uses an OP27GS operational amplifier. Pins 1 and 8 are BAL pins, which are used to adjust the balance of the input terminal to reduce the influence of the input bias current. Pins 2 and 3 are IN- and IN+, which are the inverting and non-inverting input terminals respectively. Pins 4 and 7 are V- and V+, which are the negative and positive poles of the power supply terminal respectively. In the present invention, they are connected to -15V and +15V respectively. Pin 5 is an NC non-connection terminal, which has no internal connection. Pin 6 is OUT, the output terminal of the operational amplifier signal. The input path is the P2-end standard BNC interface. This circuit is an inverting amplifier, and multiple capacitors are used for broadband filtering to reduce the interference of the external power supply to the circuit. Its main function is to accurately process and amplify low-frequency small signals.

[0062] As Figure 4As shown: The second-stage power amplifier circuit uses an LT1210 operational amplifier to drive the load, has a high power output capacity, and is equipped with feedback control and power supply filtering design. Pins 1 and 2 are -IN and +IN, which are the inverting input terminal and the non-inverting input terminal respectively. Pin 3 is SHUTDOWN, which is used to turn off or enable the amplifier output. Pins 4 and 5 are V+ and V-, which are the negative and positive poles of the power supply terminal respectively. In the present invention, they are connected to -15V and +15V respectively. Pin 5 is COMP, which is used to compensate the frequency response of the amplifier and optimize its stability and performance. Pin 7 is OUT, the amplifier output terminal. The present invention outputs a high-frequency temperature control signal, and the output path is the standard BNC interface at the P1 end. Under high-power drive, the LT1210 will generate heat, and a corresponding air-cooled radiator is equipped. Its core function is high-power signal amplification, with high bandwidth and high current output.
