[0045] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0046] This embodiment provides a method for determining the optimal aging condition of a semiconductor laser. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0047] 101. Obtain a semiconductor laser chip to be tested, and test first wavelength values ​​and saturation currents corresponding to saturation optical powers at different temperatures based on threshold currents of the semiconductor laser chip to be tested.

[0048] In this embodiment, the threshold current distribution interval of the semiconductor laser chip to be tested is ≤0.1 mA, and the wavelength distribution interval of the semiconductor laser chip to be tested is ≤0.1 nm.

[0049] 102. Package the semiconductor laser chip to be tested into a component, and test the second wavelength value of the component under different driving currents at a preset fixed ambient temperature.

[0050] 103. Determine a limit aging current at the preset fixed ambient temperature according to the first wavelength value, the second wavelength value, the saturation current, and the driving current.

[0051] 104. Perform an aging test based on the preset fixed ambient temperature and the limit aging current to obtain optimal aging conditions.

[0052] In steps 101-104 of the embodiment, since the chip junction temperature is the same when the wavelength values ​​of the chips are the same, to eliminate interference caused by the chip junction temperature, the goal is to achieve the same wavelength values ​​for the chips under different conditions. This condition is then used to determine the optimal aging condition. To improve the efficiency of determining this condition, a control variable method is used to set the different conditions as different conditions 1 and 2. Condition 1: only the temperature changes (i.e., at different temperatures in step 101 of the embodiment), and Condition 2: only the drive current changes at a preset fixed ambient temperature (i.e., at different drive currents in step 102 of the embodiment). In this way, when the wavelengths are the same (i.e., in step 103 of the embodiment, the first wavelength value and the second wavelength value are the same), a single target current at the preset fixed ambient temperature can be determined, which is the limit aging current. This effectively eliminates interference caused by changes in chip junction temperature due to the application of the drive current, and effectively improves the accuracy of determining the optimal aging condition for the semiconductor laser. Then, in step 104 of the embodiment, the aging test is performed to obtain the optimal aging condition.

[0053] The present invention provides a method, device, and equipment for determining the optimal aging condition of a semiconductor laser. First, a semiconductor laser chip to be tested is obtained, and based on the threshold current of the semiconductor laser chip to be tested, a first wavelength value at different temperatures and a saturation current corresponding to the saturation optical power are tested; then, the semiconductor laser chip to be tested is packaged into a component, and the second wavelength value of the component is tested at a preset fixed ambient temperature and different drive currents; next, the limit aging current at the preset fixed ambient temperature is determined based on the first wavelength value, the second wavelength value, the saturation current, and the drive current; finally, an aging test is performed based on the preset fixed ambient temperature and the limit aging current to obtain the optimal aging condition. Through the technical solution of the present invention, since the junction temperature of the chip is the same when the wavelength value of the chip is the same, in order to eliminate the interference caused by the junction temperature of the chip, the wavelength value of the chip under different conditions is the same as the goal, and this condition is obtained. The aging test is performed according to this condition, which is the optimal aging condition. To improve the efficiency of determining this condition, a controlled variable method is used, setting different conditions as Condition 1 and Condition 2. Condition 1: only the temperature changes, and Condition 2: at a preset fixed ambient temperature, only the drive current changes. In this way, when the wavelength is the same, a single target current, or the limit aging current, can be determined at the preset fixed ambient temperature. This effectively eliminates interference caused by changes in chip junction temperature due to the applied drive current, and effectively improves the accuracy of determining the optimal aging condition for the semiconductor laser.

[0054] Furthermore, as a refinement and expansion of the specific implementation of the above embodiment, in order to fully illustrate the specific implementation process of this embodiment, another method for determining the optimal aging condition of a semiconductor laser is provided, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0055] 201. Obtain a first preset number of semiconductor laser chips to be tested.

[0056] 202. Calculate the sum of the threshold current and the preset current of the semiconductor laser chip to be tested to obtain an initial spectrum value. Under the initial spectrum value, test the first initial wavelength value and the initial saturation current corresponding to the saturation optical power of each semiconductor laser chip to be tested at different temperatures.

[0057] 203. Calculate an average of the first initial wavelength values ​​to obtain a first wavelength value, and calculate an average of the initial saturation currents to obtain a saturation current.

[0058] Regarding steps 201-203 of the embodiment, the laser generates laser light of a specific wavelength when current is injected. However, not all currents will generate laser light. The relationship between optical power and current is such that light emission begins only when a "certain current" is reached. This high current point at which light emission begins is called the threshold current. By applying a preset current based on the threshold current, a relatively stable initial spectrum value can be obtained. Preferably, the preset current can be selected within the range of 1 to 2 mA, for example, 1.5 mA. Each semiconductor laser chip to be tested is then tested at different temperatures, and the first initial wavelength value under the initial spectrum value and the initial saturation current corresponding to the saturation optical power are recorded.

[0059] In order to reduce the error, the average of the first initial wavelength values ​​is calculated to obtain the first wavelength value. Similarly, the average of the initial saturation current is calculated to obtain the saturation current.

[0060] 204. Set a starting driving current, an ending driving current, and a driving current step to obtain different driving currents, package one of the semiconductor laser chips to be tested into a component, and test the second initial wavelength value of each component at a preset fixed ambient temperature and different driving currents.

[0061] 205. Calculate the average of the second initial wavelength values ​​to obtain a second wavelength value.

[0062] For steps 204 and 205 of the embodiment, the starting drive current is the first drive current, the starting drive current plus one drive current step is the second drive current, the starting drive current plus two drive current steps is the third drive current, and so on until the ending drive current is the last drive current. The component can be a To or COC component. After each semiconductor laser chip to be tested is packaged into a component, all components are placed in an aging device, and the oven ambient temperature is set, that is, a preset fixed ambient temperature. During the test, the second initial wavelength value of each semiconductor laser chip to be tested under different drive currents is recorded.

[0063] In order to reduce the error, the average of the second initial wavelength values ​​is calculated to obtain the second wavelength value.

[0064] 206. Determine a target current when the first wavelength value is equal to the second wavelength value and the saturation current is equal to the driving current, and use the target current as the limit aging current at the preset fixed ambient temperature.

[0065] For this embodiment, as an implementation method, determining the target current when the first wavelength value is equal to the second wavelength value, and the saturation current is equal to the drive current, includes: constructing a first fitting curve of the first wavelength value and the saturation current; constructing a second fitting curve of the second wavelength value and the drive current; fitting the point where the first fitting curve intersects the second fitting curve to obtain the target current when the first wavelength value is equal to the second wavelength value, and the saturation current is equal to the drive current.

[0066] Since only the temperature changes in the first fitting curve and only the drive current changes in the second fitting curve, when the wavelength is the same (that is, when the first fitting curve intersects the second fitting curve), the target current that makes the saturation current equal to the drive current at the preset fixed ambient temperature of the second fitting curve can be determined. This target current is the limit aging current at the preset fixed ambient temperature.

[0067] 207. Perform an aging test based on the preset fixed ambient temperature and the limit aging current to obtain optimal aging conditions.

[0068] Taking the preset fixed ambient temperature and the limit aging current as the limit aging conditions, for this embodiment, the aging test is performed based on the preset fixed ambient temperature and the limit aging current to obtain the optimal aging condition, including: obtaining a second preset number of chips to be tested for aging; obtaining a preset step size, and setting different test drive currents according to the preset step size based on the limit aging current; obtaining a preset aging time, a preset extended aging time, and a high-temperature working life test time, and performing aging tests on all the chips to be tested for aging based on the preset fixed ambient temperature and the test drive current under the preset aging time, the preset extended aging time, and the high-temperature working life test time, respectively, to obtain a first failure number, a new failure number, and a second failure number; and determining the optimal aging condition based on the new failure number and the second failure number.

[0069] The method of obtaining a preset step size, based on the limit aging current, and setting different test drive currents according to the preset step size, includes: the limit aging current is the first test drive current, and based on the limit aging current, the preset step size is reduced by one to obtain the second test drive current, and based on the limit aging current, the preset step size is reduced by two to obtain the third test drive current... thereby obtaining different test drive currents. Preferably, the preset step size can be selected as 0.2*limit aging current or 20mA. The number of newly added failures corresponding to the preset extended aging time refers to the aging that is extended based on the preset aging time, compared to the first failure time. Preferably, the preset extended aging time = preset aging time * 2.

[0070] For the high temperature operating life test (HTOL), preferably, the conditions are set at 85° C. / 60-80 mA.

[0071] Regarding determining the optimal aging condition based on the number of new failures and the second number of failures, as an implementation, if the number of new failures is 0 and the random failure rate during HTOL is controlled to be ≤0.03%, then the preset fixed ambient temperature and the current at that time are the optimal aging conditions.

[0072] The following uses specific data to illustrate steps 201-207 of the embodiment:

[0073] Step 1: Sample 11 chips from 3 different batches as the aging test chips. Temperatures were set starting at 40°C and ending at 100°C, with 5°C increments. The saturation current and first wavelength values ​​were measured at different temperatures.

[0074] Step 2: Package the chip into a To component, set the oven ambient temperature to 100°C, the starting drive current to 80mA, the ending drive current to 250mA, and the drive current step to 20mA, and test the second wavelength value under different drive currents.

[0075] Step 3: Draw the first fitting curve using the statistical values ​​in step 1, and draw the second fitting curve using the statistical values ​​in step 2. The intersection point corresponds to a target current value of 180mA.

[0076] Step 4: According to steps 1-3, the extreme aging condition is obtained as the oven ambient temperature of 100℃ and the target current value of 180mA. Therefore, the preset aging time is 12H, the preset extended aging time is 24H, the high temperature working life test time is 2000H, and 20mA is the preset step size. Different test drive currents of 180mA, 160mA, 140mA, 120mA, 100mA, and 80mA are set to formulate 6 experimental groups.

[0077]

[0078]

[0079] Combined with the data, 100℃ / 120~140mA is the optimal aging condition for this product.

[0080] The present invention provides a method, device, and equipment for determining the optimal aging condition of a semiconductor laser. First, a semiconductor laser chip to be tested is obtained, and based on the threshold current of the semiconductor laser chip to be tested, a first wavelength value at different temperatures and a saturation current corresponding to the saturation optical power are tested; then, the semiconductor laser chip to be tested is packaged into a component, and the second wavelength value of the component is tested at a preset fixed ambient temperature and different drive currents; next, the limit aging current at the preset fixed ambient temperature is determined based on the first wavelength value, the second wavelength value, the saturation current, and the drive current; finally, an aging test is performed based on the preset fixed ambient temperature and the limit aging current to obtain the optimal aging condition. Through the technical solution of the present invention, since the junction temperature of the chip is the same when the wavelength value of the chip is the same, in order to eliminate the interference caused by the junction temperature of the chip, the wavelength value of the chip under different conditions is the same as the goal, and this condition is obtained. The aging test is performed according to this condition, which is the optimal aging condition. To improve the efficiency of determining this condition, a controlled variable method is used, setting different conditions as Condition 1 and Condition 2. Condition 1: only the temperature changes, and Condition 2: at a preset fixed ambient temperature, only the drive current changes. In this way, when the wavelength is the same, a single target current, or the limit aging current, can be determined at the preset fixed ambient temperature. This effectively eliminates interference caused by changes in chip junction temperature due to the applied drive current, and effectively improves the accuracy of determining the optimal aging condition for the semiconductor laser.

[0081] Further, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention provides a device for determining the optimal aging condition of a semiconductor laser. Figure 3 As shown, the device includes: a first test module 31, a second test module 32, a determination module 33, and a test module 34;

[0082] A first testing module 31 is configured to obtain a semiconductor laser chip to be tested, and test first wavelength values ​​and saturation currents corresponding to saturation optical powers at different temperatures based on the threshold current of the semiconductor laser chip to be tested;

[0083] A second testing module 32 is configured to package the semiconductor laser chip to be tested into a component and test a second wavelength value of the component under a preset fixed ambient temperature and different driving currents;

[0084] a determination module 33, configured to determine the limit aging current at the preset fixed ambient temperature according to the first wavelength value, the second wavelength value, the saturation current, and the driving current;

[0085] The test module 34 is configured to perform an aging test based on the preset fixed ambient temperature and the limit aging current to obtain an optimal aging condition.

[0086] Correspondingly, in order to determine the limit aging current at the preset fixed ambient temperature based on the first wavelength value, the second wavelength value, the saturation current and the driving current, the determination module 33 can be specifically used to determine the target current when the first wavelength value is equal to the second wavelength value and the saturation current is equal to the driving current, and use the target current as the limit aging current at the preset fixed ambient temperature.

[0087] Correspondingly, in order to determine the target current when the first wavelength value is equal to the second wavelength value and the saturation current is equal to the drive current, the determination module 33 can also be used to construct a first fitting curve of the first wavelength value and the saturation current; construct a second fitting curve of the second wavelength value and the drive current; fit the point where the first fitting curve intersects the second fitting curve to obtain the target current when the first wavelength value is equal to the second wavelength value and the saturation current is equal to the drive current.

[0088] Accordingly, in order to perform an aging test based on the preset fixed ambient temperature and the limit aging current to obtain the optimal aging condition, the test module 34 can be specifically used to obtain a second preset number of chips to be tested for aging; obtain a preset step size, and set different test drive currents according to the preset step size based on the limit aging current; obtain a preset aging time, a preset extended aging time, and a high-temperature working life test time, and perform an aging test on all the chips to be tested for aging based on the preset fixed ambient temperature and the test drive current under the preset aging time, the preset extended aging time, and the high-temperature working life test time, respectively, to obtain a first failure number, a new failure number, and a second failure number; and determine the optimal aging condition based on the new failure number and the second failure number.

[0089] Accordingly, in order to obtain the semiconductor laser chip to be tested, the first wavelength value at different temperatures and the saturation current corresponding to the saturation light power are tested based on the threshold current of the semiconductor laser chip to be tested. The first testing module 31 can be specifically used to obtain a first preset number of semiconductor laser chips to be tested; calculate the sum of the threshold current of the semiconductor laser chip to be tested and the preset current to obtain an initial spectrum value; under the initial spectrum value, test the first initial wavelength value and the initial saturation current corresponding to the saturation light power of each semiconductor laser chip to be tested at different temperatures; calculate the average of the first initial wavelength values ​​to obtain the first wavelength value; calculate the average of the initial saturation currents to obtain the saturation current.

[0090] Accordingly, in order to package the semiconductor laser chip to be tested into a component and test the second wavelength value of the component at a preset fixed ambient temperature and different driving currents, the second testing module 32 can be specifically used to package one semiconductor laser chip to be tested into a component, test the second initial wavelength value of each component at a preset fixed ambient temperature and different driving currents; and calculate the average of the second initial wavelength values ​​to obtain the second wavelength value.

[0091] In specific application scenarios, such as Figure 4 As shown, a device for determining the optimal aging condition of a semiconductor laser further includes: a setting module 35, which is specifically used to set the starting driving current, the ending driving current and the driving current step to obtain different driving currents.

Accordingly, this embodiment further provides a storage medium, which may be volatile or non-volatile, and stores a computer program thereon. When the program is executed by a processor, the above-mentioned operations are performed. Figures 1 to 2 The method for determining the optimal aging conditions of semiconductor lasers is shown.

[0100] The present invention provides a method, device, and equipment for determining the optimal aging condition of a semiconductor laser. First, a semiconductor laser chip to be tested is obtained, and based on the threshold current of the semiconductor laser chip to be tested, a first wavelength value at different temperatures and a saturation current corresponding to the saturation optical power are tested; then, the semiconductor laser chip to be tested is packaged into a component, and the second wavelength value of the component is tested at a preset fixed ambient temperature and different drive currents; next, the limit aging current at the preset fixed ambient temperature is determined based on the first wavelength value, the second wavelength value, the saturation current, and the drive current; finally, an aging test is performed based on the preset fixed ambient temperature and the limit aging current to obtain the optimal aging condition. Through the technical solution of the present invention, since the junction temperature of the chip is the same when the wavelength value of the chip is the same, in order to eliminate the interference caused by the junction temperature of the chip, the wavelength value of the chip under different conditions is the same as the goal, and this condition is obtained. The aging test is performed according to this condition, which is the optimal aging condition. To improve the efficiency of determining this condition, a controlled variable method is used, setting different conditions as Condition 1 and Condition 2. Condition 1: only the temperature changes, and Condition 2: at a preset fixed ambient temperature, only the drive current changes. In this way, when the wavelength is the same, a single target current, or the limit aging current, can be determined at the preset fixed ambient temperature.
