Abstract

UN CIRCUITO DE CONTROL DE ENERGIA ACTIVO Y METODO DE MODULACION DE AMPLITUD DE PULSO EMPLEADA PARA SU USO CON SISTEMAS LASER PULSADOS POR DIODOS. EL CIRCUITO DE CONTROL DE ENERGIA ACTIVO, Y EL METODO EMPLEAN SENSORES DE RETROALIMENTACION DE ENERGIA OPTICA Y CONTROL DE SALIDA DE LA AMPLITUD DE PULSO ELECTRICO PARA PULSAR LOS DIODOS DEL SISTEMA LASER. ESTO CREA UN LAZO DE CONTROL DE ENERGIA ACTIVO PARA MANTENER LA ENERGIA DE SALIDA LASER PULSADA POR DIODOS A UN NIVEL DESEADO SOBRE FRECUENCIAS DE REPETICION DE PULSO, TIEMPO, Y CONDICIONES MEDIOAMBIENTALES DIFERENTES. LA ENERGIA DE SALIDA LASER PULSADA POR DIODOS SE CONTROLA MEDIANTE LA VARIACION DE LA AMPLITUD DE PULSO DEL PULSO DE ENERGIA DE SALIDA MIENTRAS SE MANTIENE UN PUNTO DE AJUSTE DE AMPLITUD DE CORRIENTE. MEDIANTE EL USO DE UN SISTEMA DE CONTROL BASADO EN LA MODULACION DE LA AMPLITUD DE PULSO, LA CORRIENTE APLICADA A LOS DIODOS PULSADORES SE REGULA A UN PUNTO DE AJUSTE EFICIENTE, BAJO SU NIVEL DE DAÑO, Y LA AMPLITUD DE PULSO SE AJUSTAPARA MANTENER UNA ENERGIA OPTICA DE SALIDA DESEADA DEL SISTEMA LASER. EL PROGRAMA DE ENERGIA DE SALIDA MODULADA DE AMPLITUD DE PULSO SUMINISTRADO POR LA PRESENTE INVENCION ES APROPIADO PARA TODAS LAS APLICACIONES LASER PULSADAS POR DIODO INCLUYENDO LOS TELEMETROS LASER, DESIGNADORES LASER, SISTEMAS DE RADAR LASER, SISTEMAS DE SOLDADO LASER, Y OTROS SISTEMAS LASER DE BAJA Y ALTA POTENCIA.
