Description

Temperature-control circuit based on thermoelectric refrigerating unit
Technical field
The present invention relates to the optical communication technique field, relate in particular to a kind of temperature-control circuit based on thermoelectric refrigerating unit.
Background technology
Along with people constantly increase the demand of high bandwidth, at optical communication field, require the transmission rate of optical module more and more higher, volume is but more and more less.EML(Electro-absorption Modulated Laser in optical module, electric absorption externally modulated laser) there are preferably spectral characteristic, fast response time, the characteristics such as low in energy consumption, therefore be widely used in optical communication.
Because the centre wavelength of EML laser, power output etc. all are subject to the impact of laser temperature, therefore to keep centre wavelength, power output stable of EML laser, need to be controlled the temperature of EML laser.Particularly for DWDM(Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing, intensive multiplexed optical wave with) scene of application, maximum 100G and the 50G channel spacing in application, require its standard wave length interval to be respectively 0.8nm and 0.4nm.In order to guarantee channel spacing, the centre wavelength stability requirement that system manufacturers proposes 100G and 50G is generally positive and negative 20pm and positive and negative 10pm.This stability requirement is strict, and therefore, needs the temperature of the strict EML of control laser.
In practical application, generally use TEC(Thermoelectric cooler, thermoelectric refrigerating unit claims again semiconductor cooler) temperature-control circuit guarantees the constant of EML laser works temperature.Existing TEC temperature-controlled process, generally by MCU(Micro Control Unit, micro-control unit) the ADC(Analog-Digital Converter in, analog to digital converter) build sample circuit, sample circuit is by the reference voltage power supply set in advance, ADC is arranged on the magnitude of voltage of the thermistor in the EML laser according to the sampling period sampling set in advance, in conjunction with pre-stored thermistor resistance and the mapping relations of thermistor voltage value, obtain the current resistance value of thermistor, again according to the temperature-resistance characteristic relation of this pre-stored thermistor, obtain thermistor temp corresponding to current resistance value, predefined target temperature in the thermistor temp that obtains and MCU is compared, difference according to the thermistor temp obtained and target temperature, generate the temperature closed loop control signal: when the thermistor temp obtained higher than target temperature, send the temperature closed loop control signal that comprises the cooling of EML laser to the TEC element, make the heat absorption of TEC element, thereby reduce the temperature of EML laser and thermistor, , send and comprise the temperature closed loop control signal that the EML laser heats up to the TEC element lower than target temperature when the thermistor temp obtained, make the TEC unit heat discharging, thus the temperature of rising EML laser and thermistor, when the thermistor temp obtained equals target temperature, maintain TEC element current state constant.Like this, by closed-loop control TEC element, heat up to the EML laser or cooling, can ensure the stability of EML laser temperature, and then guarantee centre wavelength, power output etc. stable of EML laser.
In the situation that the reference voltage of sample circuit is definite, in theory, the thermistor voltage scope of ADC sampling is that 0V is between reference voltage.But, in practical engineering application, temperature during due to the EML laser works is generally in a scope interval, routine is applied between 20 ℃ to 70 ℃, according to the temperature-resistance characteristic relation of thermistor, when the temperature of thermistor is 20 ℃, corresponding thermistor resistance value is about several thousand (K) ohm, and, when the temperature of thermistor is 70 ℃, corresponding thermistor resistance value can reach tens K.Thereby, in conventional applied environment, because thermistor resistance value minimum is also the K level, like this, the minimum thermistor voltage that causes ADC to sample can be much larger than 0V, that is, and and in conventional applied environment, the thermistor voltage scope that ADC samples is the part of the ADC thermistor voltage scope of sampling in theory, and the thermistor voltage scope that makes ADC sample in theory is not by 100% utilization.Like this, owing to need to characterizing with less voltage range temperature corresponding to conventional applied environment, reduced the actual samples precision of ADC, thereby made the lasting accuracy of laser temperature poor.
Have now in order to improve the lasting accuracy of laser temperature, often need to promote the analog-to-digital conversion figure place of ADC, like this, will cause the increase of hardware designs and production cost; Simultaneously, improve the lasting accuracy of laser temperature by the analog-to-digital conversion figure place that promotes ADC, the thermistor voltage scope that exists equally ADC to sample in theory, not by the situation of 100% utilization, makes the utilance of ADC lower.
