Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of narrow linewidth lasers, and more particularly to a narrow linewidth laser module. Background Technology
[0002] Narrow-linewidth laser modules are generally used in civilian fields such as lidar and optical communication, where phase noise is not a primary concern. However, when they are fabricated into fiber optic hydrophones for research or military applications such as marine acoustic detection and modern naval anti-submarine warfare, phase noise (especially low-frequency phase noise) becomes one of the most important performance indicators. The quality of phase noise in a narrow-linewidth laser module depends primarily on its internal temperature control circuitry, power supply, and heat dissipation.
[0003] Similar narrow-linewidth laser products generally use mature TEC driver chips (such as MAX1978, ADN8835, LT8722, etc.) for temperature control. These chips are designed primarily for temperature control accuracy and energy conversion efficiency, neglecting phase noise. Therefore, narrow-linewidth laser modules made with these TEC driver chips tend to have high phase noise, as illustrated in the temperature control method and system for a narrow-linewidth laser (publication number CN119070131A). Furthermore, power supply fluctuations interfering with the laser driver circuit and component heating further deteriorate the phase noise, making the modules unsuitable for applications such as marine acoustic detection and modern naval anti-submarine warfare. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a narrow linewidth laser module that reduces the phase noise of the narrow linewidth laser module from three aspects: temperature control circuit, power fluctuation and heat dissipation, so that it can be better applied to fields with high requirements for phase noise, such as marine acoustic detection and modern naval anti-submarine warfare.

The RC filter circuit composed of resistor R21 and capacitor C21 can be used to remove interference signals of fixed frequency.
[0038] Working principle (based on) 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 laws, 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 and R4 are fixed values, voltage V2 can be calculated from the thermistor RT, reflecting the current temperature. Voltage V3 can be calculated from voltage V1, reflecting the target temperature. If the current temperature is higher than the target temperature, then V2 < V3; if the current temperature is equal to the target temperature, then V2 = V3; if the current temperature is lower than the target temperature, then V2 > V3.
[0041] 3) Input voltages V2 and V3 into the positive and negative input terminals of the instrumentation amplifier, respectively, and apply a reference voltage Vref to the instrumentation amplifier to obtain the output voltage V4 = V2 - V3 + Vref. Clearly, voltage V4 reflects the difference between the current temperature and the target temperature. The reference voltage Vref is introduced here to provide a positive bias voltage to voltage V4, ensuring that the value of voltage V4 is always positive.
[0042] 4) Inputting voltage V4 into the PID circuit yields output voltage V5. The PID circuit is a proportional-integral-derivative control circuit, which improves the stability and reliability of temperature control. Capacitors C1 and C2 are known capacitances, and resistors R9 and R10 are known resistances; therefore, the following can be calculated: Since V4 = V2 - V3 + Vref, therefore
[0043] 5) Voltage V5 is amplified by an inverting amplifier to obtain voltage V6, where resistors R11 and R12 are known resistors. Since the PID circuit and the inverting amplifier circuit share a common reference voltage Vref, V6 can be calculated as (Vref - V5) * R11 / R12 + Vref.
[0044] 6) Connecting emitter follower circuit I below the PID circuit and emitter follower circuit II below the inverting amplifier is to compensate for the shortcomings of the operational amplifier's small output current and insufficient driving capability. These two emitter followers are also made using operational amplifiers, such as... Figure 5 Operational amplifiers U4 and U5 are used in the circuit. Adding an emitter follower at each end approximately doubles the driving capability without the emitter follower. Ballast resistors R5-R8 have equal resistance values, approximately 10% of the equivalent resistance of the TEC. For ease of calculation, we assume the equivalent resistance of the TEC is Rt, then R5 = R6 = R7 = R8 = 10% * Rt. Resistors R5 and R6 balance the output voltage of the PID controller and emitter follower I, while resistors R7 and R8 balance the output voltage of the inverting operational amplifier U3 and emitter follower II. The output voltage of the emitter follower equals the input voltage; therefore, the output voltage of emitter follower I is V5, and the output voltage of emitter follower II is V6. The driving current of the entire temperature control circuit can then be calculated as It = (V5 - V6) / (1.1 * Rt).
[0045] 7) When It > 0, the TEC cools the laser; when It < 0, the TEC heats the laser. The larger the absolute value of It, the greater the heating / cooling power. The driving capability of the entire load drive circuit mainly depends on the maximum output current of operational amplifiers U2-U5. The driving capability for cooling (i.e., the maximum positive current flowing through the TEC) is equal to the sum of the maximum output currents of operational amplifiers U2 and U4, and the driving capability for heating (i.e., the maximum negative current flowing through the TEC) is equal to the sum of the maximum output currents of operational amplifiers U3 and U5.
