Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser, especially relates to a laser diode control circuit of laser. BACKGROUND

[0002] The core of the Digital Micromirror Devices (DMD) used by the laser direct imaging system is a matrix composed of micro-mirrors, each of which can be independently controlled, and the flip angle and speed of the micro-mirror are controlled by the lithography pattern input by the computer, so as to realize high-precision pattern exposure. In the laser direct imaging system, the DMD receives the light emitted by the laser, and after a series of optical component processing, the light beam is projected onto the photosensitive material to form the required pattern. However, the traditional laser direct imaging system has the following disadvantages:

[0003] Firstly, the DMD cannot withstand too much laser power under the irradiation of the laser, and the traditional laser controls the output of continuous light, that is, the laser will always irradiate on the DMD, which will greatly reduce the service life of the DMD.

[0004] Secondly, the traditional laser controls the working mode of the continuous light with fixed power output of the Laser Diode (LD). The characteristic of the LD is that a large amount of heat is generated while emitting light. In this working mode, the LD used by the laser can only work under the rated power condition, because the heat generated by the LD is relatively small, and the general heat dissipation system can easily dissipate the heat to ensure the normal use of the LD. However, if the LD is used in super power mode, the general heat dissipation system is difficult to dissipate the excess heat, resulting in heat accumulation and burning of the LD.

[0005] Thirdly, the output power of the LD in the traditional laser is not adjustable, and the stability is poor.

[0006] Fourthly, the traditional laser is easy to cause damage to the LD due to static electricity or power fluctuation during use. INVENTION CONTENT

[0105] It should be noted that the specific working principle of the first operational amplifier circuit 210 and the second operational amplifier circuit 220 is the prior art known to those skilled in the art, which will not be described here.

[0106] In some embodiments of the utility model, reference Figure 1 The temperature acquisition control circuit includes a temperature acquisition module, a relay 400 and a control module.

[0107] The temperature acquisition module is configured to acquire temperature data of the heat dissipation block 300.

[0108] The relay 400 has a control end, a first connection end connected to the positive electrode of the laser diode, and a second connection end connected to the positive electrode of the driving power supply. The relay 400 is configured to control the on-off state of the driving power supply.
