[0035] Pump aging mainly refers to aging of the pump source before leaving the factory, accelerating the chemical and physical reactions in the chip and polymerization, shortening the early failure time, so that the defects in the chip can be rapidly exposed in a short time. Pump aging is an important part of device screening, and the integrating sphere plays an important role in the pump aging process. However, with the continuous increase of optical power, the light collecting integrating sphere used at present is limited in internal diffuse reflection effect, which easily leads to high light intensity of direct light point and burns through, thereby affecting the accuracy of the test.
[0036] The utility model provides an integrating sphere structure 100 for solving the above problems.
[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4In an embodiment of the utility model, the integrating sphere structure 100 is used for the aging test of semiconductor laser, and the pump aging mainly refers to the pre-shipment aging of the pump source, promotes the acceleration of chemical and physical reactions in the chip and the polymerization, shortens the early failure time, and makes the defects in the chip rapidly exposed in a short time. The pump aging is an important link of device screening, and the integrating sphere plays an important role in the pump aging process. Although the high-power and high-precision test integrating sphere can accurately reflect the light power attenuation process, the use cost is high when it is put into the aging equipment. In the embodiment, an integrating sphere structure 100 is provided, which not only has good test precision, but also can fully guarantee the stability in the test process. Specifically, the appearance of the integrating sphere structure 100 is provided as a cylindrical structure 1, a test sphere cavity 111 is arranged in the cylindrical structure 1, and the center of the test sphere cavity 111 is arranged on the central axis of the cylindrical structure 1. The arc-shaped inner wall of the test sphere cavity 111 is a laser reflection surface. In order to improve the laser reflection effect in the test process and guarantee the accuracy of the test result, the arc-shaped inner wall of the test sphere cavity 111 is first polished and sandblasted, and then a 80um thick reflection rate 96% high diffuse reflection nano coating is sprayed. During the test, since the inner wall of the test sphere cavity 111 is treated as above, the reflection uniformity and precision of the test sphere cavity 111 can be improved, so that the accuracy of the test result is guaranteed, and the reflection rate of the diffuse reflection material in the sphere reaches 96%. The intensity of the direct light point is effectively reduced by the diffuse reflection of the direct laser, so that the burning problem is solved. Therefore, the stability of the entire integrating sphere structure 100 in the test process is greatly improved. During the test, the laser continuously forms diffuse reflection in the test sphere cavity 111, and the temperature of the entire cylindrical structure 1 also rises to a certain extent. In order to further improve the stability of the entire integrating sphere structure 1 in the use process, a heat dissipation member is further arranged on the cylindrical structure 1. Specifically, the heat dissipation member includes two U-shaped heat dissipation channel parts 3, the two heat dissipation channel parts 3 are arranged at the two ends of the test sphere cavity 111 along the axis of the cylindrical structure 1, and the two ends of the heat dissipation channel part 3 are arranged outside the cylindrical structure 1. In the actual use process, the two ends of the heat dissipation channel part 3 can be connected with an external low-temperature circulation device, such as a low-temperature water circulation device or a low-temperature gas circulation device, so that the heat generated on the cylindrical structure 1 can be timely removed through the two heat dissipation channel parts 3 during the test, which helps to improve the test accuracy and stability of the entire structure in the use process.
[0038] The column structure 1 includes two test parts 11 arranged along the axial direction, and a plurality of corresponding connecting holes are arranged on the two test parts 11, and the corresponding two connecting holes are fixedly installed through bolts, so that the two test parts 11 can be detachably installed. Wherein, the opposite ends of the two test parts 11 are concave and form two arc-shaped spherical cavity parts, and after the two test part ends are connected, the two spherical cavity parts are jointly buckled to form the test spherical cavity 111. The column structure 1 is divided into two relatively symmetrical structures, which has certain advantages in manufacturing convenience and cost. Specifically, one of the test parts 11 is machined, including machining the spherical cavity part, then machining the heat dissipation channel part 3, and one-time forming and spraying a high-manganese reflective layer coating. Then the other test part 11 is processed in the same way. After the two test parts 11 are machined, the two test parts 11 are fixed as a whole through the corresponding installation structure. Through the above processing method, the internal structure of the entire integrating sphere structure 100 can be conveniently observed and maintained during use, which helps to improve the convenience of the entire structure during use.
[0039] In the traditional test method, a single detection element is arranged on the integrating sphere to collect photoelectric signals. In the present scheme, mounting holes 112 perpendicular to the axis are arranged on the two test parts 11, and photoelectric detection pieces 2 are arranged at the two mounting holes 112. The two photoelectric detection pieces 2 can be connected to an external computing device at the same time, and the average value of the two-way electrical signal change reflects the power change trend, thereby further improving the accuracy of the test result.
[0040] Because the output power of the device during the aging process is composed of the rising transient state, the steady state and the closing transient state. The output power changes sharply in the rising and closing stages, and the hardware device precision and software algorithm response precision required for capturing abnormal changes in this stage are much higher than those in the steady state. In the steady state, the power input, the device power output, the software reading value, the environmental temperature and the device optical junction temperature are in a relatively stable state, and the interference factors for capturing abnormal changes in the device power in this stage are few. In addition, in the present scheme, the reflection uniformity and precision in the test spherical cavity 111 are improved, and the average value of the two-way electrical signal is collected to reflect the relative change trend, and the device complexity and overall cost are greatly reduced.
[0041] The mounting hole 112 specifically includes two sections, a circular hole section 1121 with a smaller cross section connected to the test spherical cavity 111, and a threaded hole section 1122 with a larger cross section connected to the other end of the circular hole section 1121, and the photoelectric detection piece 2 is installed in the threaded hole section 1122.
[0042] Specifically, the photoelectric detection piece 2 comprises two parts of an outer threaded block 21 and a PD photoelectric detection tube 22. The outer threaded block 21 is threadedly fitted and installed with the threaded hole section 1122. In order to facilitate the installation and removal of the outer threaded block 21, a strip-shaped groove is arranged on the end of the outer threaded block 21 away from the test ball cavity 111. During actual installation or removal, an external tool can be used in cooperation with the strip-shaped groove to drive the outer threaded block 21 to rotate. A through hole 211 is arranged at the center position of the outer threaded block 21 and penetrates through the two plane ends. The PD photoelectric detection tube 22 is installed inside the through hole 211, and one end thereof corresponds to the round hole section 1121, so as to facilitate the acquisition of the corresponding photoelectric signal.
[0043] In addition, considering that the receiving power of the PD photoelectric detection tube 22 has a certain range, in order to prevent the power of the reflected light from being too large and exceeding the bearing range of the PD photoelectric detection tube 22, thereby causing damage to the PD photoelectric detection tube 22, a sunken groove 7 is arranged on the stepped surface of the round hole section 1121 and the threaded hole section 1122. A protective glass 8 is installed inside the sunken groove 7. After installation is completed, one end of the outer threaded block 21 located inside the test part 11 is in contact with the protective glass 8, so as to ensure the stability of the installation of the protective glass 8 inside the sunken groove 7. During the specific test process, the protective glass 8 can protect the PD photoelectric detection tube 22 within a certain range, thereby ensuring the stable performance of the entire test process.
[0044] In the entire integral sphere structure 100, one of the test parts 11 is an incident test part 11. An incident hole 4 is arranged on the incident test part 11 corresponding to the arc-shaped bottom position of the ball cavity part, and a mounting table part 5 is arranged on the outer wall of the incident test part 11 corresponding to the position of the incident hole 4. The mounting table part 5 is the mounting position of the optical fiber tool structure. During actual use, the tool structure of the incident optical fiber is mounted on the mounting surface of the mounting table part 5, and then the incident optical fiber is fixed through the tool structure. The actual part of the tool structure also has a certain adjustment function, which can adjust the direction of the output end of the incident optical fiber according to the actual test requirement.
[0045] The column structure 1 is similar to a standard cylindrical structure, and in order to facilitate fixation and prevent rotation around the axis, a part of the arc-shaped side wall of each test part 11 is provided with a flat part 6, and the flat parts 6 are flush after the two test parts 11 are fixedly connected, so that the column structure 1 can be placed stably.
[0046] In addition, in the embodiment, the two heat dissipation channel parts 3 are provided in a U-shaped structure, and the two ends of the U-shaped structure are arranged outside the test part 11, and the test part 11 can be cooled by connecting a circulating cooling device as described above.
[0047] The utility model discloses still a kind of optical measurement systems, the optical measurement system includes integrating sphere structure 100, the specific structure of the integrating sphere structure 100 is as described above in the embodiment, since the optical measurement system includes all the technical solutions of the integrating sphere structure 100, so the optical measurement system at least includes all the beneficial effects of the integrating sphere structure 100, here no longer one by one elaboration.
[0048] The above is only exemplary embodiment of the utility model, and not therefore limit the patent range of the utility model, all equivalent structural transformation made in the technical concept of the utility model using the utility model specification and drawing contents, or direct / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection range of the utility model.
