For current laser according to industrial production demand, need the maximum limit of bias current to set up put less to protect Laser Devices, and then sacrifice the overall performance of laser, cannot make laser in its total life cycle, give full play to the problem of its performance, propose a kind of laser total life cycle self adaptation condition control method, give the control mode of two kinds of lasers, this method is according to the magnitude relationship of real-time detection laser operating current I saturation current actual with it, the control mode of adaptively selected laser, the service behaviour in its lifetime can be played cmpletely, excavate the potential of laser, luminous power can do more, extend and be operated in APC(automated power and control) life-span of state laser, improve the adaptive capacity to environment of product.
Embodiment one, the present embodiment proposes a kind of laser total life cycle self adaptation condition control method, comprises the following steps:
Parameter setting step:
The saturation current value Is of S11, detection laser;
S12, the threshold limit value Imax of bias current is set, wherein Imax < Is;
S13, critical temperature value Tth is set;
Automatic adjusument step:
S21, detection laser operating current I, and laser. operating temperature T in real time;
The magnitude relationship of the threshold limit value Imax of S22, more described laser works electric current I and bias current, as I < Imax, opens APC circuit, is controlled by described APC circuit to drive circuit for laser;
As I >=Imax, the magnitude relationship of more described laser. operating temperature T and critical temperature value Tth, if T >=Tth, then closes APC circuit, enables nonlinear control method, directly control described drive circuit for laser by control unit.
As shown in Figure 1, for (P-I) relation curve of laser optical power and bias current, wherein, the saturation current value Is of laser for refer to that laser can export maximum luminous power time corresponding bias current value, the operating state of laser divides spontaneous emission district, stimulated emission linear work district, saturation region.When the bias current applied to laser is less than threshold current Ith, laser works is in spontaneous emission district, when bias current be greater than threshold current Ith be less than saturation current Is time, laser works is in linear zone, and luminous power can increase along with the increase of bias current; In saturation region, luminous power can reduce along with the increase of bias current.Therefore, current laser needs control to be operated in linear zone, because laser exists individual difference, its saturation current value Is is not quite similar, the product of the general same model of laser of the prior art or the product of different model are all set to the threshold limit value of the bias current of unified size, in order to ensure the normal of all lasers, it is less that the threshold limit value of general bias current is established, therefore the performance of laser is greatly sacrificed, also be, a lot of laser is in the very large bias current interval being greater than this threshold limit value, still linear modulation control can be carried out, but, due to the constraint of threshold limit value, its bias current can not exceed this threshold limit value again, therefore, the arrival life span that laser is just too early.The control method of the present embodiment solves the problems referred to above, carry out saturation current value Is respectively to each laser to detect, and the threshold limit value Imax of bias current is set according to its saturation current value Is, the limit value arranged is different because of laser, the maximum restriction Imax of its bias current arranged will the value of more existing setting larger, the work extending laser is linearly interval, can the performance of maximized performance laser, APC control circui is combined with nonlinear Control, suitable control mode is selected according to the operating state of laser, overcome the limitation to overall laser performance constraints that APC control circui brings on the one hand, the maximum electric current being greater than bias current no longer definitely can not be used for controlling, consider that temperature parameter is come in, due in the interval between Imax and Is, need according to current that what affect laser works performance most is its ambient temperature reason or himself senile cause, if the words that Current Temperatures is too high, the non-linear effects of temperature does leading, therefore nonlinear control method is adopted, if temperature is not too high, then remain and follow P-I curve, APC method is adopted to control, excavate the potential of laser, luminous power can do more, working life extends greatly, the reliability of product has had larger raising, product can be applied among more severe special environment, the laser of common commercial level or technical grade specification can be used to develop meet the special light module product of specific demand.
As a preferred embodiment, in described step S22, as I >=Imax and T < Tth time, if now control drive circuit for laser for APC circuit, then keep described APC circuit to open, still by described APC circuit, drive circuit for laser is controlled, if be now nonlinear control method, then open APC circuit, switch to APC circuit to control drive circuit for laser.Even if current laser status is bias current exceeded setting limit value, arrive as the principal element affecting laser performance if Current Temperatures is also unlikely to high, because still belong to stimulated emission linear work district in the Current Zone of Imax to Is, only power reduces gradually with the growth rate of electric current, but still can control, so continue to adopt APC Current Control, by the Function of laser to maximum.
In the present embodiment, in described step S22, described APC circuit to the method that drive circuit for laser controls is:
The light that a1, PD photo-detector detection laser is launched, and light signal is converted to the signal of telecommunication;
The described signal of telecommunication is carried out amplification process by a2, amplifying circuit, and is sent to comparator and compares, and comparative result is sent to laser drive circuit;
If the described signal of telecommunication of a3 is less than default threshold value, then described drive circuit for laser increase is carried in the bias current on described laser, otherwise, reduce the bias current be carried on described laser.
The core adopting APC control circui is exactly feedback control idea, the realization of function is by PD photo-detector, optical power control circuit, laser driver, the laser in laser assembly, form feedback loop to have come, thus make optical output power of laser be tending towards fixed value.Its FEEDBACK CONTROL basic process is when the Output optical power of LD reduces, and PD photoelectric current reduces, and the output current potential of amplifying circuit raises, then laser drive circuit bias current increases, and the Output optical power of LD is increased; Contrary then the luminous power of LD is reduced, thus reach automated power control action, make the Output optical power of LD keep stable.
In the present embodiment, in described step S22, described nonlinear control method is:
B1, Real-Time Monitoring current lasers work temperature;
B2, from look-up table, search bias current Tb corresponding under current lasers work temperature;
B3, control laser drive current are carried on described laser with bias current Tb.
Wherein, described look-up table writes in control program before laser dispatches from the factory, the performance number of bias current Tb corresponding when the working temperature of experiment detection laser and laser different operating temperature T and laser now, because now bias current and power are no longer linear, and temperature becomes the principal element affecting power, therefore, at known target power and when Current Temperatures being detected, find out the current bias current value that should modulate by look-up table, compensate for the defect that APC circuit linearity controls.
Further, in described step S11, the method for the saturation current value Is of detection laser is: from can opening the threshold bias current Ith of laser luminescence, bias current value is increased with step-length △ I, and the luminous power of corresponding detection laser luminescence, calculate luminous power growth rate corresponding when bias current often increases △ I, when growth rate equals zero, then current bias current value is saturation current value Is.
