In order to increase the peak power, a quasi-continuous laser (QCW laser) has a maximum continuous output current in a pulse mode of an internal LD that is greater than the maximum continuous output current (for example, 10 times the maximum continuous output current). The current of QCW in continuous mode is the same as the current of CW laser LD.

The application correspondingly provides a laser luminescence control system. Fig. 2 is a block diagram of a laser emission control system including a first switch 22, a second switch 24, and a control module 26 according to an embodiment. In one embodiment of the present application, the laser generates a power signal by a power signal generation unit and generates a switching signal by a switching signal generation unit. The amplitude of the power signal is positively correlated with the luminous power of the laser luminous device. The switching signal is a pulse signal. In one embodiment of the present application, the above-described laser emission control system is used to control the alignment of a continuous laser.
The controlled end of the first switch 22 is connected to the switch signal generating unit, and when the switch signal is at the first level, the first switch 22 is closed, and when the switch signal is at the second level, the first switch 22 is opened. The input of the first switch 22 is connected to the power signal generating unit.
The output of the control module 26 is used to output a comparison signal. A first input of the control module 26 is connected to an output of the first switch 22. A second input of the control module 26 is connected to the switching signal generating unit.
The controlled terminal of the second switch 24 is connected to the output terminal of the control module 26, and the comparison signal controls the second switch 24 to open and close. An input of the second switch 24 is connected to an output of the first switch 22. The output end of the second switch 24 is used for outputting a power signal to the driving module of the laser, so that the driving module drives the laser light emitting device to emit light according to the power signal. In one embodiment of the present application, the laser light emitting device is a laser diode.
Specifically, the control module 26 outputs a comparison signal that controls the second switch 24 to close when the magnitude of the power signal is less than the magnitude of the first signal, and outputs a comparison signal that controls the second switch 24 to open when the magnitude of the power signal is greater than the magnitude of the first signal. The amplitude of the first signal decreases as the duration of the first level of the switching signal increases and increases as the duration of the second level of the switching signal increases. In one embodiment of the present application, the first level is a high level and the second level is a low level. In one embodiment of the present application, the comparison signal is high when the magnitude of the power signal is less than the magnitude of the first signal, and the comparison signal is low when the magnitude of the power signal is greater than the magnitude of the first signal.
According to the laser light-emitting control system, the control module adjusts the amplitude of the first signal in real time according to the on-state (namely, first level) duration of the switching signal, the longer the on-state duration is, the smaller the first signal amplitude is, the laser light-emitting device is enabled to pause to emit light when the power signal is larger than the amplitude of the first signal, and the power signal is output to the driving module to drive the laser light-emitting device to emit light when the power signal is smaller than the amplitude of the first signal and the switching signal is in the on-state, so that the laser light-emitting device is prevented from being heated and damaged when the laser emits light in a pulse overshoot mode. The judgment logic of the laser light-emitting control system is simple, the whole control logic is clear, the realization of the whole control logic through simple hardware is easy, the circuit cost is favorably reduced, and the reliability of overshoot protection is improved.
In one embodiment of the present application, the first switch 22 and the second switch 24 are both selection switches.
In one embodiment of the present application, the control module 26 is configured to increment the count value by one for each unit time duration of the first level of the switching signal, decrement the count value by one for each unit time duration of the second level of the switching signal, and divide the first value by the count value as the current amplitude of the first signal.
Referring to fig. 3, in one embodiment of the present application, the control module 26 includes a counting unit 262, a digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) unit 264, and a comparator 266. An input end of the counting unit 262 is used as the second input end of the control module 26 connected to the switch signal generating unit, an input end of the digital-to-analog converting unit 264 is connected to an output end of the counting unit 262, an output end of the digital-to-analog converting unit 264 is connected to the second input end of the comparator 266, and a first input end of the comparator 266 is used as the first input end of the control module 26 connected to the output end of the first switch 22. The control module 26 counts the level according to the switching signal by the counting unit 262. In one embodiment of the present application, the counting unit 262 is an FPGA.
The laser light-emitting control system of the embodiment shown in fig. 3 can limit and protect the laser power and duty ratio through the controlled switch, the comparator, the DAC and the FPGA. The judgment logic is simple, the whole control logic is clear, the performance requirements on the DAC and the FPGA are low, and the DAC output is controlled by the FPGA through a complex algorithm after an ADC (analog-to-digital converter) is not required to acquire a power signal to the FPGA.
In one embodiment of the present application, the counting unit 262 continuously counts according to the level of the switching signal. The high level of the switching signal is applied to the count value T +1 for every 1 ms duration, and the low level is applied to the count value T-1 for every 1 ms duration. Every time the counting unit 262 counts one count, the digital-to-analog conversion unit 264 outputs the first signal Net2 being 1000/T (amplitude) and compares the first signal Net2 with the amplitude of the power signal Net 1. When the magnitude of the power signal Net1 is smaller than the magnitude of the first signal Net2, the output of the comparator 266 will close the second switch 24, and if the first switch 22 is also closed, the power signal Net1 can be smoothly transmitted to the driving module, and the driving module drives the LD to emit light according to the power signal Net 1. When the magnitude of the power signal Net1 is greater than the magnitude of the first signal Net2, the output of the comparator 266 will cause the second switch 24 to open and the LD will not emit light. The timing diagram may refer to fig. 4 and 5. The power signal Net1 and the first signal Net2 are separated by a dash-dot line in fig. 4 and 5 for ease of distinction. During the time period shown in fig. 4, the magnitude of the power signal Net1 is always smaller than the magnitude of the first signal Net2 (the magnitude of the power signal Net1 in fig. 4 is H at most), and the second switch 24 remains closed. In fig. 5, the duty ratio of the switching signal is large, which causes the amplitude of the first signal Net2 to be smaller than the amplitude H of the power signal Net1 for a period of time, and at this time, the second switch 24 is turned off, even if the switching signal is at a high level, the power signal Net1 is not provided to the driving module, and LD does not emit light.
