Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of instrument inspection, in particular to a semiconductor laser inspection device. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor lasers are also called laser diodes. There are three main ways to excite them, namely, electric injection, optical pumping, and high-energy electron beam excitation. Electric injection semiconductor lasers are excited by injecting current along the forward bias; optical pumping semiconductor lasers are excited by the lasers emitted by other lasers; and high-energy electron beam excitation semiconductor lasers are excited by injecting high-energy electron beams from the outside. Electric injection semiconductor lasers have better performance and are more widely used.

[0003] When the forward current flows through the pn junction of the laser diode of the electrically injected semiconductor laser, the heat loss causes the junction area to rise in temperature. Near room temperature, the luminous intensity of the semiconductor laser will decrease by about 1% for every 1°C increase in temperature. Under the condition of constant temperature, the light output of the semiconductor laser will increase with the increase of current. The optically pumped semiconductor laser will be affected by the excitation light source and the pump crystal. The pump crystal is greatly affected by temperature, and the relationship between the optical power output of the laser and the current is very complicated.

[0004] Because the light output of an electrically injected diode laser increases with the increase of current when the temperature is constant, the conventional test is to provide a fixed current to the laser and then measure the corresponding light power output. Fig.15 , at a certain temperature, the values ​​of a few points are measured to evaluate the maximum optical power of the laser, its linearity with the excitation current, the stability of the laser optical power, etc.

[0005] For optically pumped and high-energy electron beam semiconductor lasers, which are greatly affected by temperature, the factors affecting optical power are more complicated. Fig.16 Under constant temperature and constant current conditions, the optical power fluctuates greatly, and the characteristics of the laser cannot be determined by the values ​​of the laser's excitation current and optical power.

[0006] Conventional inspection methods cannot screen out qualified lasers for existing semiconductor lasers with different performances, especially optically pumped and high-energy electron beam semiconductor lasers. For example, a 532nm optically pumped semiconductor laser uses an 808nm semiconductor laser as a pump source to pump Nd YVO4 crystals to generate 1064nm light, which is then passed through a frequency doubling crystal (KDP / LBO) to generate 532nm green light. The pump crystal and frequency doubling crystal are greatly affected by temperature, which affects their light-to-light conversion efficiency, causing the optical power of the 532nm laser to be very unstable. Therefore, constant temperature control and constant power control are required to ensure the stability of the power. However, due to the quality of the crystal, some lasers have sudden changes in power or low conversion power, which are not only not suitable for constant power control, but also have extremely poor consistency. If constant power control is performed, it needs to be screened repeatedly.

[0007] Moreover, in the product, the laser is first assembled with the structural parts and optical devices, then the optical path is initially debugged, and finally the laser structural parts and optical devices are cured together. Although such curing can prevent the optical path from deviating, if the subsequent test fails, the cured parts can only be scrapped, which easily leads to increased personnel and material costs and uncontrolled time costs.

[0008] There is currently no corresponding solution on the market. Summary of the invention

The above circuits are all implemented using existing technologies.

[0065] In one embodiment, the laser to be tested 203 is fixed in the laser to be tested 203 by a compression spring.

[0066] In one embodiment, the structural outer frame 205 and the tube seat 302 are adjusted by a fine-tuning device capable of adjusting the position and angle, so as to ensure that the centers of the sensing surfaces of the laser 203 to be tested, the filter 204, and the photodiode 301 are all located in the optical axis of the same test optical path. During implementation, the laser 203 to be tested is lit, and the angle of the laser 203 to be tested is adjusted and calibrated to ensure that the light spot generated by the laser 203 to be tested is clearly captured in the middle position of the sensing surface of the photodiode 301, that is, it is ensured to be located in the optical axis of the same test optical path.

[0067] In one embodiment, the structural outer frame 205 is cylindrical, the filter 204 is disposed on the inner wall of the structural outer frame 205 , and the laser to be measured 203 is located at the rear part of the inner part of the structural outer frame 205 .

[0073] The method for using the semiconductor laser inspection device of the utility model comprises the following steps: S1: Start the power supply 102 to enable the power supply 102 to supply power to the controller 101, thereby starting the test;

[0074] S2: Selecting a number of the lasers 203 to be tested;

[0075] S3: placing all the lasers 203 to be tested in the structural outer frame 205 in sequence, and performing a sweep current test and a full-range closed-loop constant power test on each laser 203 to be tested, and finally screening out the lasers 203 to be tested whose current and optical power change smoothly, have similar trends, and whose optical power at maximum current is greater than the use requirement through the sweep current test, and screening out the lasers with stable optical power through the full-range closed-loop constant power test;

[0076] S4: Summarize all result data, turn off the power supply 102, and end the test.

[0077] In one embodiment, the specific process in S3 is:

[0078] S3.1: All the lasers to be tested 203 are numbered in sequence, such as (24012601, 24012602, 24012603...24012625);

[0079] S3.2: placing the laser to be tested 203 corresponding to the number in the structural outer frame 205 in sequence;

[0080] S3.3: The laser to be tested 203 currently placed in the structural outer frame is recorded as the current numbered laser;

[0081] S3.4: Perform a current sweep test on the laser with the current number, increase or decrease a fixed current at a fixed interval each time, so that the current increases from the initial current to the maximum current and then decreases to the initial current, and the optical power of the laser with the current number is recorded while the current changes; if the presented current and the optical power of the laser with the current number change smoothly, and the trends are similar, and the optical power at the maximum current is greater than the use requirements, it means that the laser with the current number meets the requirements and the relevant data is recorded; otherwise, it is not recorded and jumps directly to S3.6.

[0082] S3.5: For the laser with the current number recorded in S3.4, a full-range closed-loop constant power test is performed, in which the power is increased from the initial power to the required maximum power at fixed power intervals, and each power point works for a fixed time; if the optical power of the laser with the current number is stable, the relevant data is recorded; otherwise, no data is recorded and the test is directly skipped to S3.6;

[0083] S3.6: End the test of the currently numbered laser; if the currently numbered laser is the last one, it means that the test of all the lasers 203 to be tested has been completed, and jump to S3.7; otherwise, it means that the traversal has not yet ended, and return to S3.2;

[0084] S3.7: End the test work on all the lasers 203 to be tested.

[0085] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 4 , all components are fixed on the optical plate 400 by processing parts, the laser 203 to be tested is placed in the structural outer frame 205, and the laser 205 to be tested is pressed by a compression spring. The laser 203 to be tested is not an inherent component of the semiconductor laser inspection device, but a laser that needs to be tested, and the laser 203 to be tested is replaceable.

[0086] like Figure 1 After the PC is connected, the software of the PC terminal 500 is opened after the power is turned on. The laser 203 to be tested placed in the structure outer frame 205 is turned on, and the structure outer frame 205 and the tube holder 302 are adjusted so that the light spot of the laser 203 to be tested is just clearly captured in the middle position of the sensing surface of the photodiode 301, and then the laser 203 to be tested is turned off.

[0087] Figure 3 and Figure 4 is a sample image of a qualified laser to be tested, where Figure 3 and Figure 4 The tests S3.4 and S3.5 are respectively performed for the same laser 203 to be tested.

[0088] like Figure 3 Shown - S3.4 sweep current test. Initial current 130mA, maximum current 400mA, current increases by 1mA per second. Green waveform - structural frame temperature, unit 0.1℃, black waveform - working current of the laser to be tested, unit mA, red waveform - optical power of the laser to be tested, unit 0.1mW. In the figure, the temperature is stable, the current and power of the laser 203 to be tested change in the same trend, and at the maximum current, the optical power is greater than 50 mW. Only when the sweep current of the laser 203 to be tested is judged to be qualified can the closed-loop optical power test of S3.5 be continued.

[0089] like Figure 4 Figure 1 shows the closed-loop optical power test. The initial power is 6mW, the maximum power is 45 mW, and each power point works for one minute. The green waveform is the temperature of the structure frame 205, the unit is 0.01℃, the blue waveform is the laser working current, the unit is 0.01mA, and the red waveform is the laser optical power, the unit is 0.001mW. In the figure, when the temperature is stable, the optical power of the laser 203 to be tested is stable, and it is judged that the closed-loop power of the laser 203 to be tested is qualified and the test has passed.

[0090] Figures 5, 6, 7, and 8 are the corresponding diagrams of the swept current images and the laser closed-loop power images of the four lasers to be tested, wherein the corresponding position relationship between the power closed-loop failure and the swept current image is shown by the arrow.

[0091] In FIG5 , the power of a laser 203 to be tested oscillates frequently in a current sweep image and frequently in a power closed-loop image.

[0092] In Figures 6, 7, and 8, in the current scanning images of the other three lasers 203 to be tested, the power rises vertically, and the corresponding power points in the power closed-loop images oscillate.

[0093] In the figure 9, the power at position 1 changes vertically, and the laser 203 to be tested is judged to be unqualified, and no power closed-loop test is required. The power change trend at positions 2 and 3 does not match the current change trend, and power instability may exist in the power closed-loop control.

[0094] As shown in Figure 10, the maximum optical power is less than 50 mW, and the laser 203 to be tested is judged to be unqualified, and there is no need to perform a power closed-loop test.

[0095] Figure 11 indicates vertical power changes at positions 1, 2, and 3. It is determined that the laser 203 to be tested is unqualified and no power closed-loop test is required.

[0096] In Figure 12, the maximum optical power is less than 50 mW, and the laser 203 to be tested is judged to be unqualified, and no power closed-loop test is required. In Figure 13, the power at positions 1 and 2 changes vertically. The laser 203 to be tested is judged to be unqualified, and no power closed-loop test is required.

[0097] As shown in Figure 14, there are multiple positions where the optical power and current change trends do not match, but the optical power does not have a vertical mutation, so the current sweep is determined to be qualified and the power closed-loop test can be entered. The power closed-loop test is qualified.

[0098] Table 1 and Table 2 below list the waveform data of 25 lasers 203 to be tested, numbered 24012601 to 24012625, during the implementation process, with an overall qualified rate of 44%. Among them, if the sweep current is qualified, the power closed-loop test qualified rate is 100%; if the optical power has a vertical mutation, the power closed-loop qualified rate is 0%; if the sweep current optical power oscillates, the power closed-loop qualified rate is 53.33%; if the optical power is lower than the set value, there is no need to perform a power closed-loop test, and it is directly judged as unqualified. Based on the above data, it can be concluded that if the optical power has a vertical mutation in the sweep current, the power closed-loop test must be unqualified, and the test result can be directly obtained in the sweep current stage; if the optical power oscillates in the sweep current and does not have a vertical mutation, an optical power closed-loop test must be performed to obtain the test result.

[0099]

[0100]

[0101] In summary, through the unique design of the utility model, compared with the prior art, the semiconductor laser inspection device provided by this product has a simple structure and is easy to operate, and can easily perform sweep current test and full-range closed-loop constant power test on the laser to be tested. Through the combination of software and hardware of the utility model, lasers with stable optical power within the use range can be screened out, meeting the application requirements of reliable screening.
