Embodiment
Embodiment one:
In conjunction with Fig. 1, Fig. 2, the embodiment of the invention one flow process is generally pulled and step 1 flow chart.After the whole device electrifying startup to laser; Get into the step 1 of fast initialization; This step 1 details is seen Fig. 2: at first be temperature measured value step 11, this step 11 Laser Measurement device ambient temperature obtains an analog voltage one to one; This magnitude of voltage gets into temperature A/D switch process 12 then, in this step 12, aforesaid aanalogvoltage is converted into one 8 binary number; We so set: the interval of adjacent two values of this binary number characterizes 2 degrees centigrade the temperature difference.
By so setting, in suitable operating temperature range for example-20 ℃～60 ℃, can obtain 8 bits of a sequence; Binary number with this sequence is respectively memory unit address, then can make up a look-up table, fills in the unit of look-up table under the temperature that this address characterizes as location contents, is fit to the magnitude of current code of laser works.The binary system amount mapping that this has just set up one " temperature-electric current " is used for reading suitable current amount (binary number) in table addressing step 13.This magnitude of current gets into the step 14 of predetermined current, and the code conversion of the binary system magnitude of current is obtained the drive current of an analog quantity, offers laser works.From the step 1 of fast initialization shown in Figure 2, laser is operated in according to ambient temperature on the preset preferred current value when starting immediately, have than response speed faster.
After accomplishing fast initialization step 1, get into a state switch step 2 immediately.Use an enable signal EN in this step, be or not, do not make system get into initial maintenance step 4 or automated power set-up procedure 3 through what judge this enable signal.Initial maintenance step 4 makes the operating current work that the still above fast initialization step 1 of laser obtains, and does not adjust; Automated power set-up procedure 3 is then opposite, the luminous power of monitoring laser, and adjustment in time in real time.
Fig. 3 is Fig. 1 embodiment step 3 flow chart, and this step has been showed the details of automated power control (APC).This automatic control mainly utilizes a state value CMP to judge, and contrasts by a reference quantity that characterizes reference light power and to draw.This CMP value span is 0 and 1, and value 0 characterizes laser optical power and is higher than the reference light performance number, and 1 opposite.When this step begins; Magnitude of current code from the fast initialization step gets into a counter; Accomplish counter assignment step 20, get into electric current output step 22 again, with the magnitude of current drive laser work (D/A that comprises in this step and the similar step of this electric current code sign; The A/D conversion will be repeated no more, down together); Then, the luminous power of laser and reference light power compare, and obtain the CMP value; When the CMP value is 1; Expression laser optical performance number is not as good as the reference light performance number, so Counter Value stepping 1 returns electric current output step 22; Being laser diode current is promoted slightly, afterwards the luminous power of monitoring laser again; If the CMP value is 0, expression laser optical performance number surpasses the reference light performance number, so Counter Value successively decreases 1, returns electric current output step 22, and promptly laser diode current is reduced slightly.Order according to shown in Figure 3 ceaselessly circulates, and laser optical power can be stabilized in fluctuation in the minimum scope, realizes the stable of luminous power, and this step will last till initiatively cancellation.
Embodiment two:
Like Fig. 4, be embodiment two step 3 flow charts; The main flow process of embodiment two is identical with embodiment one, can represent with Fig. 1.But it is different that embodiment two compares in automated power controlled step 3 (Fig. 1) with embodiment one, like Fig. 4, and one of them institute's upper limit determining step 26, another lower limit determining step 27.It is after the 1 step branch that upper limit determining step 26 is set in the CMP value; Be used for judging whether its operating current has reached the upper limit, if then no longer promote laser power when laser optical power during less than reference light power; Leap to the circuit output element and continue circulation, otherwise just counter is increased 1; Lower limit determining step 27 set with CMP value be after the 0 step branch, be used for judging whether its operating current is in lower limit when laser optical power during greater than reference light power, if down counter value no longer then circulates but get back to the continuation of electric current output step.The power regulating method of this embodiment two is clamped down on the operating current bound of laser, and operating state is more safe and reliable.
Embodiment three:
Fig. 5 is embodiment three block diagrams, and this embodiment three is the devices that can realize step shown in Figure 1.Have temperature sensor in the initialization module 42, measures ambient temperature is connected to control core 41 through initial output Din in real time; Monitoring module 43 is connected to control core 41 through a state justify end CMP; Control core 41 also has an Enable Pin EN except connecting initial output Din and state justify end CMP, be communicated with laser LD through drive end Drv simultaneously.
When at first Enable Pin EN is 1 (high level); Temperature sensor in the initialization module 42 is with measured preferred working current value of ambient temperature mapping; Transfer to control core 41 through initial output Din, control core 41 with this working current value be treated to can drive laser LD current signal.Enable Pin EN deploys 0 (low level) outside then, and initial output Din no longer influences control core 41.
The luminous power of monitoring module 42 real-time monitoring laser pipe LD feeds back to control core 41 through the feedback signal that monitoring is obtained from state justify end CMP at this moment, and reach laser tube LD operating current and in an acceptable scope, fluctuate, promptly be steady-working state.
Embodiment four:
Fig. 6 is embodiment four block diagrams, and this embodiment four is the devices that can realize step shown in Figure 1.The analog signal voltage value that temperature sensor 35 obtains gets into temperature A/D converter 36; 8 binary codes that obtain are corresponding one by one with the address in temperature-electric current mapping block 37; Thereby a concrete temperature value can obtain the preferred electric current code of this temperature value addressed memory storage in temperature-electric current mapping block 37, and this code gets into counting device 31 from the Din end.Wherein the Din end promptly is initial output, and the Dout end promptly is said data output end, and the CMP end promptly is the state justify end; Counting device 31 and bias current module 34 constitute the major part of described control core simultaneously.
CMP end promptly transmits CMP value, and this CMP value has characterized the size of laser LD luminous power and the result of reference light performance number comparison, 1 represent less than, 0 represent greater than; The CMP value is to lean on following mechanism to realize: the light output of diode PD detection laser LD backlight; And obtain one with its light export electric current one to one; This electric current dividing potential drop on resistance R is passed through capacitor C filtering again and is promptly got more stable direct voltage, and this direct voltage inserts the negative terminal of comparator 32, compares with the reference voltage APCset of comparator 32 anodes; If represent then that greater than APCset laser LD luminous power surpasses reference value, the CMP value is 0; Less than then representing laser LD luminous power less than reference value, CMP is 1.
So when Enable Pin EN value was 0, counting device 31 adjustment was in real time finally worked under suitable current through bias current module 34 drive laser LD at first from the initial current code of Din:
When laser LD luminous power is above standard; Promptly use the final voltage that obtains that transforms of diode PD backlight to surpass reference voltage APCset; The CMP value is 0, passes through bias current module 34 drive laser LD after the counter in the counting device 31 successively decreases the electric current code again; Otherwise when laser LD luminous power is lower than standard, promptly use the final voltage that obtains that transforms of PD to be lower than reference voltage APCset, the CMP value is changed to 1, passes through bias current module 34 drive laser LD after the counter in the counting device 31 increases progressively the electric current code again; So cycle criterion, can know laser LD can be in a minimum scope steady operation, up to initiatively cancellation.By on can know that the optical power standard value of laser LD is exactly to be characterized by the APCset magnitude of voltage in fact.
In addition, whole device habitual function such as shared clock signal, reset terminal omit.
The above; Be merely preferred embodiment of the present invention, so can not limit the scope that the present invention implements according to this, the equivalence of promptly doing according to claim of the present invention and description changes and modifies; All should still belong in the scope that the present invention contains; Whether can only be limited to automated power set-up procedure or the like such as the comparison means of laser optical power and reference value, conventional miscellaneous function, the counter assignment of control core, not limit, the change of multiple details can be arranged; Although can do some conspicuous adjustment and improvement, still belong to the thinking of the present invention's protection generally.
