Development Of Driver Which Can Detect End-of-life For Semiconductor Laser

With the rapid development of photoelectron technology, the semiconductor laser (LD) has been used widely in the fields of communication, military affairs, national defense, scientific research, medical treatment and so on. It is very important to ensure that the LD can work safely and continuously. The work will be delayed and the LD will be destroyed when used on end if the lifetime of LD is end abruptly, which brings on unwanted economic loss. Therefore, the driving source which can make the LD work normally, detect its work state and ensure that the LD runs reliably is necessary obviously.The thesis provides a driving source which can detect real-timely the longevity of LD and have the functions of end-of-life alarm and invalidation protection. The driving source can come true in two ways: on way is achieved by microprocessor and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and it mainly includes analogical and digital circuits. Analogical circuits consist of driving LD invariably, sampling parameters about LD, keyboard input and end-of-life alarm. Digital circuits consist of configuration FPGA by microprocessor, receiving data from FPGA and operating or dealing with data, driving outer circuits by microprocessor, controlling D/A and A/D converters by FPGA., Instead of partial hardware functions by software, in this way, it not only saves hardware expense, but also stabilizes the whole circuit, and avoids parameters variation of hardware circuits because of environment effect., meanwhile, improves the intelligence and controllability taking advantage of flexibility and amendment of the software. The other way is achieved by all the hardware circuits. All the function modules, such as, collecting work parameters of LD, operating and comparing data, controlling LD, come true by hardware. In this way, the scheme which not only can drive LD under the way of invariable power, but also detect longevity of LD and protect it, meets design aims.
