Embodiment
The present invention is further described with reference to embodiment.
It is LD operating circuits on the left of circuit in Fig. 2, right side is APC loops, and APC loops pass through switching device in the present invention
It is attached with left side circuit, on the left of switch connection during circuit, belongs to closed loop states, APC loop works, transmit from LD rear ends
Light out is detected by a photoelectric monitoring diode PD, then the luminous power detected is converted to back facet current IPIN,
IPINIt is added in integrated transporting discharging filter and amplification input terminal generation one and is proportional to LD average light powers PAVGMean direct voltage, this
Voltage and reference voltage VREFCompare, then amplify by trsanscondutance amplifier, output is used for controlling the feedback biasing electric current of LD
IBIASFBForm negative feedback loop.When LD Output optical power reduces, the output current I of PDPINReduce, trsanscondutance amplifier output current
IBIASFBForward direction outflow, is superimposed upon DC bias current IBLASOn, make the bias current of LD increase, vice versa, and such LD's is flat
Equal luminous power PAVGJust remain constant.When switching device is grounded, belong to open loop situations, at this time, APC does not work LD electric
Road provides feedback biasing electric current IBIASFB, laser driver, which provides LD, stablizes constant DC bias current IBLAS.In Fig. 2
Switching device can be ambipolar HF power transistor, thyristor circuit and field-effect tube, by laser driver core
The register of on piece is controlled.
As shown in figure 3, the driving method of the laser driver of the present invention comprises the following steps：Initialization register, is set
The value of the register of laser driving chip, two storage address of mask register carry out memory driver working state control letter
Breath, the first storage address represent the open loop situations and closed loop automated power control (APC) state of laser with " 0 ", " 1 " respectively,
And initial value is arranged to " 0 "；Second storage address " 0 ", " 1 " represent the high-speed closed loop automatic loop control shape of laser respectively
State and normal speed closed loop automatic loop control state；The initial value of two storage control information is set to " 0 ", makes to power on
Afterwards, the work of laser driving chip enters open loop situations, i.e. output parameter does not feed back to input terminal and participates in output current value (partially
Put electric current IBLAS) adjusting, then given expected current values and other background register initial values, by laser driver (LD)
Output current be transferred to specified current flow, open laser driver at this time, laser driver needs certain time to stablize output,
Be not in that overshoot is existing under open loop situations since default electric current is configured according to the threshold current of laser
As；Wait module under opened loop control state after working stability, i.e. when the output current of laser driver has arrived at preset value,
At this time, the driving current of laser and expected operating current difference are smaller, and regulated quantity is little, so curent change will not
Too big, output light would not also overshoot, then that by register the work of laser driving chip is arranged to high-speed closed loop is automatic
Loop state of a control, at this time bias current IBLASChange is little, therefore required feedback biasing electric current IBIASFBAlso can expire quickly
Foot, can make APC loop to rapidly enter stable state under this state, shorten APC loop settling times, but the laser sent is also
It is not sufficiently stable；When laser driving chip is arranged to again after the loop stability under high-speed closed loop automatic loop control state
Normal speed closed loop automatic loop control state is run, and reduces the change speed of loop current, and the laser for making to send is stablized.So
Stable APC loops can be established within the time as defined in standard, export stable light.
The preferred embodiment of the present invention described in detail above, still, during present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above
Detail, in the range of the technology design of the present invention, a variety of equivalents can be carried out to technical scheme, this
A little equivalents belong to protection scope of the present invention.
