Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of AWG chip testing technology, specifically to a system and method for testing the responsiveness of a 41° AWG chip. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and testing of passive devices, responsivity is a key performance parameter. Responsivity is defined as the ratio of the photocurrent generated by the device to the incident light power, and is usually measured in A / W.

[0003] Existing technical solutions: 1. The operator uses a light source and an optical power meter to manually adjust the optical power incident on the device under test to a standard value (e.g., 500 μW).

[0004] 2. Personnel read the current value (in μA) output by the device under test at this time.

[0005] 3. Personnel manually calculate the response based on the formula: Responsivity = Photocurrent / Optical Power.

[0006] 4. Personnel will record the calculated response values ​​in a paper form or an electronic spreadsheet.

[0007] This results in the following defects: 1. High risk of human error: Manual calculation is prone to errors, such as decimal point errors, unit conversion errors, etc., which lead to unreliable test results.

[0008] 2. Low testing efficiency: The entire process relies heavily on manual operation, recording, and calculation, which is time-consuming and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0009] 3. Difficulty in data management: Manually recorded data is easily lost, difficult to trace, and difficult to statistically analyze, which is not conducive to quality control and process improvement.

[0010] 4. Poor consistency: Different operators may have different operating habits and calculation and verification standards, which may affect the consistency of test results.

[0011] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a solution that can automate testing, computation, and data management to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and information literacy of testing. Summary of the Invention

[0012] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a system and method for testing the responsiveness of a 41° AWG chip.

[0013] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a system for testing the responsivity of a 41° AWG chip, comprising; Test process control module: Used to control the automatic execution of the entire test sequence; Data acquisition and calculation module: After the optical power stabilizes, it automatically reads the photocurrent value from the ammeter and immediately completes the calculation based on the built-in algorithm; Result judgment module: compares the calculated response value with the preset acceptable range and automatically determines whether the device is "acceptable" or "unacceptable". Data Management Module: Automatically generates a structured record from the complete data of this test and stores it in the local database; Data upload module: Periodically or in real time, automatically uploads test records from the local database to the central server to achieve centralized data management.

[0014] This application also provides a method for testing the responsivity of a 41°AWG chip, which, based on the system for testing the responsivity of a 41°AWG chip as described above, further includes the following steps: System initialization, test process control module starts, establishes connection with all test instruments, and adjusts optical power to 500uW; Start Test: The operator scans or enters the serial number of the device under test and clicks "Real-time Acquisition to Start Test".

[0015] Automatic data acquisition and calculation: After the optical power stabilizes, the software automatically reads the current value and calls the internal calculation unit to calculate the responsivity in real time; Automatic result determination: The software compares the calculated responsiveness with the preset specifications and outputs the determination result; Automatic data storage and upload: The software saves complete test records locally and then automatically uploads them to the server.

[0016] In some embodiments, the formula for the built-in algorithm is: Responsivity = Photocurrent / Optical Power.
