Description

[0002] Narrow linewidth laser modules are generally used in civilian fields such as laser radar and optical communications, and phase noise is not a concern; but when it is made into a fiber optic hydrophone for scientific research or military fields such as ocean acoustic detection and modern naval anti-submarine warfare, phase noise (especially low-frequency phase noise) is one of its most important indicators. The quality of the phase noise of a narrow linewidth laser module mainly depends on its internal temperature control circuit, power supply and heat dissipation.

[0038] Working principle (with Figure 5 For example):
[0039] 1) The digital-to-analog converter DAC outputs a temperature control voltage V1, which corresponds to the target temperature.
[0040] 2) The thermistor RT is located inside the laser. The value of the thermistor RT corresponds to the current temperature, and Vcc is the power supply. A pair of voltages V2 and V3 are obtained using a Wheatstone bridge. According to Kirchhoff's theorem, V2 = Vcc*RT / (R3+RT), V3 = (V1*R2*R4+Vcc*R1*R4) / (R1*R2+R2*R4+R1*R4). Since the power supply Vcc and the resistors R1-R4 are fixed values, the voltage V2 can be calculated from the thermistor RT, which reflects the current temperature. The voltage V3 can be calculated from the voltage V1, which reflects the target temperature. If the current temperature is higher than the target temperature, V2 < V3; if the current temperature is equal to the target temperature, V2 = V3; if the current temperature is lower than the target temperature, V2 > V3.
[0041] 3) Input voltage V2 and voltage V3 into the positive input and negative input of the instrument amplifier respectively, and give the instrument amplifier a reference voltage Vref, and obtain the output voltage V4 = V2-V3+Vref. Obviously, voltage V4 reflects the difference between the current temperature and the target temperature. The reference voltage Vref is introduced here to give voltage V4 a positive bias voltage so that the value of voltage V4 is always positive.
[0042] 4) Input the voltage V4 into the PID circuit to obtain the output voltage V5. The PID circuit is a proportional-integral-differential control circuit, which improves the stability and reliability of temperature control. The capacitors C1 and C2 are known capacitors, and the resistors R9 and R10 are known resistors, so it can be calculated: And because V4=V2-V3+Vref,
[0043] 5) After the voltage V5 passes through the reverse amplifier, the voltage V6 is obtained, where the resistors R11 and R12 are known resistors. Since the PID circuit and the reverse amplifier circuit have a common reference voltage Vref, V6 can be calculated as (Vref-V5)*R11 / R12+Vref.
[0044] 6) The emitter follower circuit I is connected below the PID circuit, and the emitter follower circuit II is connected below the reverse amplifier to make up for the shortcomings of the operational amplifier, such as small output current and insufficient driving ability. These two emitter followers are also made of operational amplifiers, such as Figure 5 Operational amplifier U4 and operational amplifier U5 in. Adding an emitter follower at each end can obtain about twice the driving capacity without an emitter follower. The resistance values of ballast resistors R5-R8 are equal, which is about 10% of the equivalent resistance value of TEC. For the convenience of calculation, the equivalent resistance value of TEC is set to Rt, then R5=R6=R7=R8=10%*Rt. Resistors R5 and R6 play the role of balancing the output voltage of PID and emitter follower I, and resistors R7 and R8 play the role of balancing the output voltage of the reverse operational amplifier U3 and emitter follower II. The output voltage of the emitter follower is equal to the input voltage, so the output voltage of emitter follower I is V5, and the output voltage of emitter follower II is V6. At this time, the driving current of the entire temperature control circuit can be calculated as It=(V5-V6) / (1.1*Rt).
[0045] 7) When It>0, TEC cools the laser; when It<0, TEC heats the laser. The larger the absolute value of It, the greater the heating / cooling power. The driving capability of the entire load driving circuit mainly depends on the maximum output current of operational amplifier U2-operational amplifier U5. The cooling driving capability (i.e., the maximum positive current flowing through TEC) is equal to the sum of the maximum output currents of operational amplifier U2 and operational amplifier U4, and the heating driving capability (i.e., the maximum negative current flowing through TEC) is equal to the sum of the maximum output currents of operational amplifier U3 and operational amplifier U5.
