Modulation circuit generates a carrier signal needed for laser diode modulation and direct to complete the output light modulation, The switch can be conveniently realized from 256Hz to 512kHz range of 12 kinds of commonly used modulation frequency selection. Semiconductor laser with its excellent characteristics, high efficiency, simple structure, small is widely used in scientific research, national defense, medical, and other areas of processing, its drive technology becomes more and more important. Semiconductor laser is the ideal electron - photon direct conversion devices, quantum efficiency is very high, the current small changes will lead to a great change, the output light intensity of the therefore, semiconductor laser drive current requirements is very high. Driving technology of semiconductor laser usually adopts constant current drive mode, this work, through the principle of negative feedback control loop, directly provide the effective control of the drive current. In addition, the transient current or voltage spikes, and overcurrent, overvoltage will damage the semiconductor laser drive circuit, therefore should be considered in the protection circuit against electric shock measures and special. In some applications, DC semiconductor lasers produce DC drive light in the measurement process is vulnerable to interference from ambient light slow change, which could not be separated from the environment light required DC optical signal, the signal-to-noise ratio is too small, so to carry on the modulation. When the high-speed modulated semiconductor lasers, there will be dynamic characteristics is 2 complex, such as the relaxation oscillation, since the pulse and multi-pulse phenomena. In this paper, experiments were conducted to study the characteristics of low frequency modulation. Semiconductor laser output is stable, and can be directly modulated, it has been widely applied in optical system, is the preferred source sensor system. This paper describes the design of a high stability driving current, modulation, simple operation and low cost driving circuit for the light source of optical fiber systems. In this paper, the design of driving the semiconductor laser modulation circuit composed of four parts, including constant current circuit, a soft start, current limit protection and modulation signal generating circuit. The constant current circuit to generate a high stable drive current. Soft start is the role of eliminating surge may be present in the circuit, to prevent the harm of surge for laser. To avoid damage due to overcurrent caused by semiconductor laser can not be restored, then adding current-limiting protection in a driver circuit. Circuit to realize the modulation and frequency can be adjusted to generate a modulated signal. The constant current circuit is shown in figure 1, The in-phase end voltage reference Vr into A1 op amp, the operational control amplifier conducting level, and thus to obtain the corresponding output current. The output current generated by sampling voltage sampling resistor Rs, the sampling voltage is amplified as the inverting input voltage feedback voltage feedback amplifier A1, and voltage and the in-phase input end of comparison, Q2 to adjust the output voltage through the triode, adjustment and output current of semiconductor lasers, so that the whole closed-loop feedback system in the dynamic balance. Figure 1 Constant current map Because the switch instantaneous in power supply generates a voltage, current surge, as well as the surge interference effects are likely to cause the breakdown and 116AR81 16R 6 A5.1KA1O P A M PA R ?O P A M P+ 1 2 V12U7l a s e rQ22 N 2 2 2 2 AR71K- 1 2 VVr1 16R 5 A1M3 the damage of the semiconductor laser, and therefore must be in the design of soft start circuit drive laser, namely the use of the charge and discharge of RC circuit, delay time, the specific circuit as shown in Figure 2 as shown in. Switch S1 is closed, the current through the resistor R1 and capacitor C3 to charge, the base electrode of the triode Q voltage gradually rises. As the capacitor charging and the conduction of the triode, output voltage Vo is achieved from 0 to the maximum rise slowly, until the capacitor charge saturation, the voltage and current stabilizing. When the power supply is disconnected, the process of reverse, so as to realize the current and voltage decreases slowly. Figure 2 Soft start circuit diagram Laser soft start time and the charging capacitor and the corresponding resistance, when the capacitor charging tends to saturation, the output voltage soft start circuit can achieve maximum. Power supply voltage is V I, the capacitor voltage is Vo, the capacitor charging formula: 10 (1 )RCiV V e According to this formula can calculate the electric charge and discharge time. Semiconductor laser with other devices, have normal working current, if the current exceeds this range, the laser will be damaged, therefore must restrict current laser in the set range. Emitter voltage transistor Q2 as the feedback voltage terminal phase in A3 op amp, when the feedback voltage is less than the limit voltage V, A3 op amp output low level, the transistor Q1 is turned on, this time by a triode Q2 output voltage feedback voltage is greater than the limit; when the voltage of V, A3 op amp output high, triode Q1 cutoff, this limits the triode Q2 emission increases very current, and is limited to a specific value. So even if the current caused by Vr control voltage exceeds the set V i n1GND2V ou t3U178 L 05C6105C2104C3105S1R11MV0Q2N 22 22 A4 value, the triode Q1 and Q2 are connected in series, so the total current will be clamped in the setting current value. Modulation signal generating circuit is composed of a crystal oscillating circuit and divider circuit is composed of two parts, used to generate the high stability of frequency, duty cycle square wave signal is stable.

Frequency divider circuit composed of a CMOS integrated circuit 4040.1MHz pulse signal after the frequency by 4040, pin output frequency from the switch is selected, the duty cycle is 50%, amplitude is 5V square wave signal. The modulation frequency dividing frequency were 256Hz, 512Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz,4kHz,8kHz,16kHz,32kHz, 64kHz128kHz, 256kHz, 512kHz. Driving an important technical parameters of circuit for current stability. Current stability is in a certain period of time, several measurements through the current size of the semiconductor laser, namely the ratio of output current stability for the relative change amount and input current, stability calculation, there will be current relative change is defined as the measurement of the maximum and minimum values, will measure the average value as the input current value.

Drive circuit with soft start, current limit circuit protection, reduce the damage of semiconductor laser to surge breakdown and current, the modulation circuit and the drive circuit effectively combined, realize the frequency is, the development of new technology of optical fiber communication is essential. The causes of dispersion: One is the light emitted by the light source is not monochromatic light; two is the modulation signal has a certain bandwidth. The dispersion of the classification: By different modes or different frequency (or wavelength) light signal components, transmission in optical fibers, due to the physical phenomenon of different group velocities cause signal distortion is called fiber dispersion. The fiber dispersion is divided into mode dispersion (or intermodal distortion), material dispersion and waveguide dispersion. After two kinds of dispersion is the dispersion a pattern, also known as intra-modal dispersion. Dispersion harm: Fiber dispersion in optical signal waveform distortion, performance for the pulse width, it is the time domain characteristics of optical fiber. 5 In digital communication system, pulse broadening of optical signal is an important index. Pulse broadening is too large can cause adjacent pulse gap decreases, the adjacent pulse will overlap and regenerative repeater decision errors occur, which increases the BER, transmission bandwidth narrowing, limit the transmission capacity of optical fiber. Said method of dispersion: Commonly used dispersion representation has maximum time delay for $S, pulse width R and optical bandwidth of 3dB B three. The maximum time delay difference delay description fiber in the fastest and most slow wave component. Used to describe the effect of fiber dispersion on the transmission signal pulse broadening and optical fiber bandwidth. A section of optical fiber as a network analysis of the dispersion characteristics, the available time domain method and frequency domain method. When in the time domain analysis, dispersion effect is represented by the pulse broadening, and analyzed in the frequency domain, the transmission bandwidth said. 6 激光器驱动电路 半导体激光器驱动电流的微小变化将直接导致其输出光强的波动 。 为实现半导体激光器的稳定功率输出 ,基于电压负反馈原理设计了包含软启动和限流保护电路的恒流驱动电路 ;同时针对为消除背景光的影响而对光源进行调制的需要 ,设计了包括晶体振荡电路和分频电路的集成激光器调制电路 。 制作具体电路并完成了相关实验 。 实验结果表明该电路能够提供高稳定度的驱动电流 ,电流稳定度达 0.05%;软启动和限流保护电路可保护半导体激光器并提高其抗冲击能力 。 调制电路产生半导体激光器调制所需的载波信号并直接完成输出光调制 ,通过开关可方便地实现从 256Hz到 512kHz范围内 12种常用调制频率的选择 。 半导体激光器以其超小型、高效率、结构简单等优良特性被广泛应用于科研、国防、医疗、加工等领域 ,其相应的驱动技术也显得越来越重要。半导体激光器是理想的电子 -光子直接转换器件 ,有很高的量子效率 ,微小的电流变化都将导致其输出光强的很大变化 ,因此 ,半导体激光器的驱动电流要求非常高。半导体激光器的驱动技术通常采用恒流驱动方式 ,在此工作方式下 ,通过负反馈原理控制回路 ,直接提供驱动电流的有效控制。此外 ,瞬态的电流或电压尖峰脉冲 ,以及过流、过压都会损坏半导体激光器 ,因此驱动电路中还应考虑特殊的抗电冲击措施和保护电路。 在一些测量应用中 ,直流驱动的半导体激光器产生的直流光在测量过程中容易受到缓慢变化的环境光的干扰 , 导致无法从环境光中分离出所需直流光信号 , 本文系统信噪比过小 ,因此要对其进行调制。当半导体激光器进行高速调制时 , 会出现很复杂的动态特性 ,如驰豫振荡、自脉动以及多脉冲等现象。本文对其低频调制特性进行了实验研究。半导体激光器输出有足够的稳定性 ,且可直接调制 , 它已在光纤系统中得到普遍应用 ,是传感器系统的首选光源。本文为光纤系统的光源设计了一种高稳定度驱动电流、可调制、操作简单且成本低廉的驱动电路。 本文设计的半导体激光器驱动调制电路由四大部分组成 ,包括恒流电路、软启动、限流保护和调制信号产生电路。恒流电路产生 高稳定度驱动电流。软启动的作用是消除电路中可能存在的浪涌 ,防止浪涌对激光器的危害。为避免由于过流等因素引起半导体激光器不可恢复的损坏 ,则在驱动电路中加入限流保护。调制信号产生电路实现调制和频率可调。 实际的恒流电路见图 1,基准电压 Vr送入运放 A1的同相端 ,该运放控制放大器的导通程度 ,并由此获得相应的输出电流。该输出电流通过取样电阻 Rs产生取样7 电压 ,该取样电压经放大后作为反馈电压反馈回电压放大器 A1的反相输入端 ,并与同相输入端的电压比较 ,通过三极管 Q2对输出电压进行调整 ,进而对半导体激光器的输出电流进行调整 ,使整个闭环反馈系统处于动态的平衡中 。 图 1 恒定电流图 由于在电源开关开启的瞬间会产生电压、电流浪涌冲击 ,以及外界干扰产生的浪涌影响都有可能造成半导体激光器的击穿和损坏 ,因此必须在激光器驱动电路中设计软启动电路 ,即利用 RC电路的充放电 ,实现时间上的延迟 ,具体电路如图2所示。开关 S1闭合后 ,电流经电阻 R1向电容 C3充电 ,三极管 Q基极电压逐渐升高。随着电容的充电以及三极管的导通 , 输出电压 Vo实现了从 0到最大的缓慢上升 , 直到电容充电饱和后 ,此时电压和电流趋于稳定。当电源断开时 ,上述过程反向 , 从而实现电流和电压的缓慢下降。 图 2 软启动电路图 激光器的软启动时间与充电电容和相应电阻有关 ,当电容充电趋于饱和时 , 软启动电路的输出电压可以达到最大。设电源电压为 Vi,电容电压为 Vo,电容充电公式为 : 116AR81 16R 6 A5.1KA1O P A M PA R ?O P A M P+ 1 2 V12U7l a s e rQ22 N 2 2 2 2 AR71K- 1 2 VVr1 16R 5 A1MV i n1GND2V ou t3U178 L 05C6105C2104C3105S1R11MV0Q2N 22 22 A8 10 (1 )RCiV V e 根据此公式可以计算电路充放电的时间。 半导体激光器同其他器件一
