Light emission component testing tool and application circuit thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to optical communication field, especially a kind of frock for test light emitting module performance.
Background technology
TO-CAN: the packing forms that photoelectric device is a kind of.
10G light emission component is to be applied in core telecommunication switching network, is one of Primary Component of XFP, SFP+, and the effect of this assembly is that the signal of telecommunication is converted to light signal.10G light emission component consists of TO-CAN, male part and connection soft board three parts.Debugging light emission component, makes its male part and TO-CAN reach good mated condition, and testing the parameters such as its modulation, bias current and extinction ratio is requisite link in the production application of light emission component.Consider following 3 reasons:
1. when coordinating with TO-CAN when bad, male part can produce strong light reflection, when entering the resonant cavity of laser (laser is present in male part) or superpose with utilizing emitted light, reverberation can cause that eye pattern shake change causes greatly eye pattern deteriorated, the error rate increases, Communications failure.
2. when laser is luminous, laser itself has certain impedance, connect soft board and will complete laser driver (laser driver is present in light emission component) to the connection of laser as a bridge, also to complete the function of impedance matching, if there is strong reflection of electrical signals also can affect eye pattern simultaneously.
3. the quality of smooth eye pattern is directly partly relevant to operating state (modulation, bias current), light emission component itself and the match circuit etc. of light emission component.
In debugging light emission component process, what people were concerned about the most is the light eye pattern of light emission component.
Existing manufacturer is all the test report that relies on light emission component manufacturer to provide, can only on the product circuit pcb board designing, utilize signal generator, tester directly to do the work of the extinction ratio of light emission component, luminous power, eye pattern test and debugging, not have a set of complete, light emission component assessment test platform independently.Thereby existing light emission component debugging technique can not effectively manage light emission component, when changing assessment test producer or the light emission component performance of same batch of production, can not make timely assessment when variant, detect, and impact is produced and debugged.Research and development and produce must spend a large amount of time and again to mate new laser module, and debugging efficiency is low.Lack the collection to assembly property data simultaneously, can not propose recommendation on improvement to manufacturer.Research and development department does not have module testing platform, has strengthened the difficulty of research and development.
