Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application discloses a semiconductor laser driving power supply system, and particularly relates to the technical field of semiconductor laser driving. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, semiconductor laser technology has been applied in various fields of national economy and national defense construction. Semiconductor lasers have characteristics that other lasers cannot match, for example, a common laser such as a He-Ne laser adopts high-voltage excitation (about 1500V), while a semiconductor laser adopts low-voltage excitation of 3-5V. In comparison, the semiconductor laser has a safer excitation mode and is tens of times more efficient than ordinary lasers. In some measuring instruments, the semiconductor laser is selected for illumination, which can meet the requirements of good monochromaticity, good coherence, beam collimation, high precision and the like, and has wide application in long-distance communication, laser radar, digital signal storage and recovery, laser ranging, robots, holographic applications, medical diagnosis and the like. However, the semiconductor laser has strict requirements on working conditions, and under inappropriate working or storage conditions, the performance of the semiconductor laser can be rapidly deteriorated or even failed. Therefore, a laser driving power supply that enables the laser to work normally is particularly important. Thus, the performance of the laser driver has high requirements in practical application. The semiconductor laser (LD) has the advantages of small size, light weight, high conversion efficiency and long service life, and has been widely applied in the fields of industry, military and medical treatment. The LD is a laser that uses current injection as an excitation mode, and the service life and working characteristics of the LD depend on the performance of the driving power supply to a great extent. The nature of the semiconductor laser determines that the semiconductor laser has poor surge impact resistance, which requires that the driving power supply has high stability and small surge impact. Therefore, various protection circuits are needed in the driving power supply to meet the actual requirements. Slow start circuits, TVS (transient voltage suppressor) absorption circuits and current limiting circuits are usually used to prevent surge impact and excessive current. However, the working current of a high-power semiconductor laser is large, and the semiconductor laser is relatively fragile, and the traditional slow start circuit and TVS absorption circuit cannot well meet the actual requirements.

[0003] The existing semiconductor laser mostly adopts a group of power supply modules when being driven, and when the parameters of the laser need to be modified, the laser power supply must be started, and the laser switch must be disconnected, so that the safety factor is low and the operation is complex.
