[0037] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 , in this application, an integrated laser tester is proposed. Referring to Figure 1 , it includes:
[0038] A laser driver unit 100, which is used to drive the laser to operate;
[0039] A photodiode detection unit 200, which is used to receive the feedback voltage and current signals of the laser;
[0040] A nanoampere current measurement unit 300, which is used to test the dark current of the laser in a light-off state;
[0041] A trigger unit 400, which is used to provide a measurement synchronization signal;
[0042] A control unit 500, and the laser driver unit 100, the photodiode detection unit 200, the nanoampere current measurement unit 300, and the trigger unit 400 are respectively connected to the control unit 500.
[0043] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows.
[0044] In this application, a laser generally consists of a laser diode (Laser Diode - abbreviated as LD) that emits laser light and a photodiode (Photo Diode - abbreviated as PD) that detects the laser light. During the laser quality control stage, it is necessary to detect the LD and PD separately. The detection method generally first measures the current of the PD in a state where the LD does not emit light and the ambient light is relatively dim. This current is defined as the dark current, generally in the nA level. Then, the tester generates a driving electrical signal to drive the LD to emit light. After this light is reflected, the tester then detects the feedback signal at the PD end, compares the driving signal and the feedback signal, and comprehensively considers the value of the dark current to finally determine whether the laser meets the factory conditions. This application can facilitate the testing of lasers and improve the testing efficiency.
[0045] Specifically, a voltage driving signal including a DC bias is set by adjusting the DDS and DC Offset through instructions, and the voltage signal is converted into a current signal through a V-I converter for driving the laser diode.
[0046] The voltage across the laser diode is measured through the LD Voltage Sense interface. The OVP is the overvoltage protection unit, and the value of the protection voltage can be set through instructions. When the voltage generated across the laser diode by the drive current exceeds the voltage value set by the overvoltage protection, the LD Iout will be decreased to protect the laser diode.
[0047] During the measurement of some laser diodes, it is necessary to monitor the drive current, which may be achieved through a multimeter or an oscilloscope. Therefore, the LD Iout Monitor interface is set for the monitoring device to measure. The signal output by this interface is a voltage signal, and the conversion ratio is 0.5V / mA.
[0048] The photodiode detection unit 200PD Detector is used to measure the feedback current of the photodiode. Since the photodiode requires a reverse voltage to operate, this voltage is set through Offset Volt. However, we do not want the influence of Offset Volt on the measurement, so Offset Current is needed for neutralization, and Offset Current = Offset Volt / RS.
[0049] The feedback current of the photodiode detection unit 200PD Detector is measured through the PD Current IN interface. After conversion, it is finally sampled by a 2.5MHz ADC, and the actual value of the current is finally calculated.
[0050] Furthermore, the laser driver unit 100 includes a DC bias section 110, a voltage-current conversion section 120, a drive amplification section 130, a feedback section 140, and an overvoltage protection section 150.
[0051] The DC bias section 110 and the DDS signal are connected to the voltage-current conversion section 120 through an adder. The output of the voltage-current conversion section 120 is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the drive amplification section 130. The output terminal of the drive amplification section 130 is used to drive the laser diode. The inverting input terminal of the drive amplification section 130 is connected to the input of the feedback section 140. The output of the feedback section 140 is connected to the input of the voltage-current conversion section 120 through the overvoltage protection section 150.
[0052] The functional block diagram of the nanoampere current measurement unit 300nA meter is the same as that of the photodiode detection unit 200PD Detector, but because its Rs is larger, it can measure smaller currents.
[0053] The trigger unit 400 is designed for multi-device synchronous operation. When the signal output of the laser driver unit 100LD needs to be controlled by an external signal, the external trigger function can be enabled through an instruction. The signal is connected to the Trigger IN to trigger the LD Driver module to output a signal through an external rising edge or falling edge.
[0054] Similarly, when an external device needs a synchronization signal to achieve synchronous operation with this tester, the TriggerOut signal can also be connected to it.
[0055] The integrated laser tester is a low-power precision instrument with excellent accuracy. It consists of a 2-channel laser driver (abbreviated as LD), a 1-channel photo diode detector (abbreviated as PD Detector), a 1-channel nanoampere current measurement module (nA Meter), and a trigger system (Trigger), and is very suitable for testing VCSEL and various LED light sources.

[0057] The seventh SMB input terminal J7 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the 3-A amplifier U3-A through the sixth resistor R6. The non-inverting input terminal of the 3-A amplifier U3-A is connected to the voltage bias terminal V_SET.

[0058] Further, the output terminal of the 3-A amplifier U3-A, the third output terminal of the third relay K3, and the sixth output terminal of the third relay K3 are all connected to the second input terminal and the seventh input terminal of the first relay K1. The third output terminal and the sixth output terminal of the first relay K1 are connected to the inverting input terminal of the 15-A amplifier U15-A through the fifty-ninth resistor R59, the sixtieth resistor R60 in sequence. The non-inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the 15-A amplifier U15-A are connected through the sixty-second resistor R62. The first end of the fifty-ninth resistor R59 is grounded through the sixty-first resistor R61. The first end of the sixtieth resistor R60 is grounded through the eighty-eighth capacitor C88. The second end of the sixtieth resistor R60 is grounded through the eighty-ninth capacitor C89.
[0059] Further, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 ,the photodiode detection unit 200 further includes a fifth SMB input terminal J5, an eighth resistor R8, a fifth protection diode D5, a fourth protection diode D4, a first zero resistor R10, a 1-A amplifier U1-A, a seventy-ninth capacitor C89, a seventh resistor R7, a fifty-second resistor R52, a seventy-eighth capacitor C78.
[0060] The first output terminal of the fifth SMB input terminal J5 is successively connected to the in-phase input terminal of the eighth resistor R8, the 1-A amplifier U1-A, the fifth two-resistor R52, and the fourth and fifth input terminals of the first relay K1. The second terminal of the eighth resistor R8 is successively grounded through the fifth protection diode D5 and the fourth protection diode D4. The inverting input terminal of the 1-A amplifier U1-A is grounded through the first zero resistor R10. The inverting input terminal of the 1-A amplifier U1-A is connected to the fourth and fifth input terminals of the first relay K1 through the seventh resistor R7. The output terminal of the 1-A amplifier U1-A is connected to the fourth and fifth input terminals of the first relay K1 through the fifth two-resistor R52. The second terminal of the fifth two-resistor R52 is grounded through the seventy-eightth capacitor C78. The two ends of the seventy-ninth capacitor C89 are respectively connected to the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the 1-A amplifier U1-A.
[0061] In a specific embodiment, the partial instructions for the photodiode detection unit 200 to measure current and return the 16-bit raw data of the ADC are as follows:
[0062] >PD_SetSnsRes(M0,ResSel=1) / / Select PD module 0; set the current sampling resistor to 1 kΩ
[0063] >PD_SetOffsetVolt(M0,Volt=2V) / / Select PD module 0 and set the offset voltage to 2V.
[0064] >PD_SetOffsetCurr(M0,Curr=2MA) / / Select PD module 0 and set the offset current to 2 mA.
[0065] >PD_Capture_Start(M0,SmpCnt=2) / / Select PD module 0 and set the number of sampling points to 2.
[0066] >PD_Capture_SwTriger(M0) / / Select PD module 0 and trigger the acquisition.
[0067] >PD_Capture_GetRawData(M0) / / Select PD module 0 and obtain the ADC raw data collected by this module.
[0068] Since the raw data of the ADC is obtained by this method, it is necessary to first convert the raw value of the ADC to decimal and then convert the ADC value to the current value through calculation.
[0069] The return value obtained after issuing the command >PD_Capture_GetRawData(M0) is used to obtain the raw data of the ADC through the hexadecimal display (or HEX display) function of the TCP tool as follows:
[0070] The first 4 bytes are the total number of points collected:
[0071] 08 00 00 00 (RawData) → 00000008 (8 bytes) → 2 (2 points)
[0072] After the total number of points, the raw ADC values are collected one by one, 4 bytes for 1 sampling point:
[0073] 6A 18 00 00 → 0000186A DD 9B FF FF → FFFF9BDD
[0074] This data is signed hexadecimal, 32 bits. The calculation method for converting it to decimal is as follows:
[0075] 1. When the raw ADC value is less than 0x80000000, the value is directly converted to decimal:
[0076] 6A 18 00 00 → 0000186A → 6250 (decimal ADC_Data)
[0077] 2. When the raw ADC value is greater than 0x80000000, the raw value needs to be subtracted by 0x100000000, retain the sign, and then be converted to decimal:
[0078] DD 9B FF FF → FFFF9BDD → (0xFFFF9BDD - 0x100000000) → -25635 (decimal ADC_Data)
[0079] The Python demon of this calculation process is as follows:
[0080]
[0081] The formula for converting ADC_Data to current value is as follows:
[0082]
[0083] Among them, Vref = 2.048.
[0084] The value of Rsense is the value set in the command >PD_SetSnsRes(M0, ResSel = 1). In this application, ResSel = 1, and the sampling resistor is 1 kΩ. Therefore, Rsense = 1.
[0085] Therefore, the final current calculation result is as follows:
[0086] 6A 18 00 00 → 0000186A → 6250 (ADC_Data) → 0.0244 mA,
[0087] DD 9B FF FF → FFFF9BDD → -25635 (ADC_Data) → -0.1001 mA.
