Approved for public release; distribution unlimited.<br>This thesis presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a depowered, stabilized-output laser diode drive unit for use in an analog fiber- optic communication transmitter. The driver circuits provide for a stable temperature-controlled operating environment by monitoring the thermistor in the laser diode module and by controlling the current to the module's integral thermoelectric cooler. Output optical power is maintained at desired bias and peak-to-peak levels by processing the signal from the monitor photodiode and amplifying (if necessary) the ac and dc drive units. These efforts offset the degradation of the laser diode's capabilities due to heat and age.

Full textAbstract:
Laser Diodes (LDs) are semiconductor coherent lightening devices which are widely used in many fields such as defence, industry, medical and optical communications. They have advantageous characteristics such as having higher electrical-to-optical and optical-to-optical conversion efficiencies from pump source to useful output power when compared to flash lamps, which makes them the best devices to be used in range finding applications.
Optical output power of lasers depends on current through LDs. Therefore, there is a relationship between operating life and work performance of LDs and performance of drive power supply. Even, weak drive current, small fluctuations of drive current can result in much greater fluctuations of optical output power and device parameters which will reduce reliability of LDs.
In this thesis, a hardware for a fast and high power pulsed LD driver is designed for laser range finder and is based on linear current source topology. The driver is capable of providing pulses up to 120A with 250&mu<br>s pulse width and frequencies ranging from 20Hz to 40Hz. It provides current pulses for two LD arrays controlled with a proportional-integral (PI) controller and protect LDs against overcurrents and overvoltages.
The proposed current control in the thesis reduces current regulation to less than 1% and diminishes overshoots and undershoots to a value less than 1% of steady-state value, which improves safe operation of LDs. Moreover, protection functions proposed in the thesis are able to detect any failure in driver and interrupt LD firing immediately, which guarantees safe operation of LDs.

Les nouveaux capteurs d’image 3D sont des éléments clés pour exploiter pleinement les applications émergentes dans les domaines de l'imagerie 3D et de la vision par ordinateur telles que la reconnaissance faciale, la capture de mouvement, la détection de présence ou encore la réalité augmentée. Ces capteurs reposent essentiellement sur une technique de mesure de distance. Parmi celles-ci, la mesure indirecte du temps de vol des photons présente l’avantage d’une mise en œuvre simple, fiable et économique appropriée aux applications mobiles grâce au fonctionnement conjugué d’un capteur d’image et d’une diode laser. Le principe consiste à calculer une distance en mesurant le déphasage entre un signal laser infrarouge modulé et le signal optique renvoyé après réflexion sur un objet de la scène. Des impulsions laser avec un rapport cyclique proche de 50\% sont généralement utilisées comme signal laser en modulant le courant à travers une diode laser. Le travail de thèse se focalise sur l'étude et la conception d'un circuit intégré de pilotage de diode laser qui soit à la fois compact, efficace et peu cher, pour des applications d'imagerie 3D utilisées dans les téléphones portables. La nouveauté ici concerne l'intégration du pilote entier (hormis la diode laser et quelques composants passifs) sur une seule puce tout en respectant les contraintes des applications mobiles (faibles tensions d'alimentation, forte intégration). Un autre défi important concerne les pics de tension se produisant pendant les transitoires rapides dus aux inductances parasites. Enfin, un fort rendement électrique s’avère indispensable dans le but de prolonger l’autonomie de la batterie et minimiser l’auto-échauffement. A des fins de comparaison, deux topologies de pilotage différentes, mettant en oeuvre un convertisseur DC/DC associé à un élément de commutation connecté soit en série soit en parallèle de la diode laser, ont été retenues comme base pour concevoir le pilote de diode laser. Deux prototypes ont été réalisés en utilisant une technologie CMOS 130nm de STMicroelectronics, qui sont capables de fournir des impulsions de courant jusqu'à 3A avec une largeur d'impulsion de 2,5ns à une fréquence maximale de 200MHz sous une tension d'alimentation de 3,6V. Dans ces conditions, ils délivrent une puissance électrique de sortie moyenne de 4,5W à la diode laser avec un rendement électrique d'environ 60%<br>Three-dimensional (3D) image sensors are key enablers for unlocking emerging applications in consumer electronics such as facial recognition, presence detection, gesture control or Augmented Reality (AR). These sensors mostly rely on range measuring techniques such as structured-light or Time-of-Flight (ToF) principles. The indirect Time-of-Flight (iToF) principle offers the advantage of a simple, reliable and low cost solution for mobile applications by using a laser transmitter and an image sensor. Its operating principle is to calculate a distance by measuring the phase shift between a modulated infrared laser signal and the optical signal received by the sensor after reflection on an object from the scene. Laser pulses with a duty cycle close to 50\% are usually sent through the scene by modulating the current through a semiconductor laser diode. The thesis is focused on the study and design of a compact, cost-effective and efficient integrated Laser Diode Driver (LDD) for 3D-depth sensing applications used in mobile phones. The novelty here concerns the integration of the whole driver (except laser diode and some passive components) on a single chip while accommodating mobile phone constraints (low supply voltages, high integration). Another important requirement concerns the high voltage spikes occurring during fast transients due to stray inductance. Finally, a high efficiency and low losses in the chip are critical for saving the battery lifetime and minimizing the self-heating. For comparison purposes, two different driving topologies, implementing a DC/DC converter connecting a switching element either in series or in parallel with a laser diode, have been retained as basis for designing the laser diode driver. Two IC prototypes have been realized using a 130nm CMOS technology from STMicroelectronics. Both drivers are able to generate current pulses up to 3A with a 2.5ns pulse width at a maximum 200MHz frequency under a 3.6V supply voltage. Under theses conditions, they provide an average output electrical power of 4.5W to the laser diode with an electrical efficiency of around 60%

This thesis addresses the design, development and operational analysis of a D.C. powered semiconductor laser diode drive unit. A laser diode requires an extremely stable power supply since a picosecond spike of current or power supply switching transient could result in permanent damage. The design offers stability and various features for operational protection of the laser diode. The ability to intensity modulate (analog) and pulse modulate (digital) the laser diode output for data transmission was a major design consideration. Laser optical power is controlled via a closed loop system using a monitor photodiode. Laser diode temperature stabilization is accomplished with the use of a thermoelectric cooler. Laboratory and remote applications were considered in the design of this unit. (rh)

A poorly designed drive circuit leads at best to unstable optical output power and/or frequency and at worst to permanent damage to the laser diode. Thermal stress on the laser diode junction and noise from various sources degrade the diode's performance and may result in its damage, and transients may destroy the laser diode outright. This thesis explores all failure mechanisms of a laser diode, and offers solutions to prevent and/or controll them. General drive circuit considerations and requirements of various demanding applications of a CW laser diode are discussed. Finally, a fully functional drive circuit is presented.

Full textAbstract:
A non-contact angular measurement system for Pitch Static Attitude (PSA) and Roll Static Attitude (RSA) of hard disk drive sliders is designed and built. Real-time sampling at over 15 KHz is achieved with accuracy of +/- 0.05 degrees over a range of approximately 2-3 degrees. Measuring the PSA and RSA is critical for hard drive manufacturers to control and improve the quality and reliability of hard drives. Although the hard drive industry is able to measure the PSA and RSA at the subassembly level at this time, there is no system available that is able to measure PSA/RSA at the final assembly level. This project has successfully demonstrated a methodology that the PSA/RSA can be reliably measured in-situ using a laser and position sensitive detector (PSD) technology. A prototype of the measurement system has been built using simple and inexpensive equipment. This device will allow a continuous measurement between the parked position on the ramp and the loading position just off of the disk surface. The measured data can be used to verify manufacturing processes and reliability data.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>電機工程學研究所<br>97<br>Low dropout regulator (LDO) has been generally applied for several battery-powered portable electronic applications, such as cellular phone, digital camera, PDA, and so on. Compared with a switch-mode power supply, an LDO features has faster transient response, lower noises, less volume, less cost and only need a few off-chip devices.
Stability is always an important issue while designing an LDO. In conventional compensation scheme, in order to guarantee system stability of LDO, it required an off-chip capacitor and its parasitic equivalent series resistance (ESR) values must fall into a specific tunnel-like region. The ESR is normally not well controlled.
In this thesis, an LDO with spilt-structured pass element using the pole-zero pairs compensation is proposed. It achieves a capacitor-free LDO. Namely, the load capacitor and the ESR of the load capacitor are no longer required for stability consideration. The proposed LDO is 3.3V/300mA and a minimum dropout voltage of 0.2V for 300mA of output current, using a 0.5-μm 1P3M CMOS technology.
Furthermore, a current-pulse driver for laser diodes using the capacitor-free LDO regulator structure is proposed. The capacitor-free LDO regulator, which provides a constant current, and two off-chip switching power MOSFETs to generate pulse current through the laser diode. A 225mA/20ns current-pulse driver has been fabricated using a 0.5-μm 1P3M CMOS technology.

碩士<br>國立高雄應用科技大學<br>電子工程系碩士班<br>102<br>In this thesis, two optical transmitter circuits are designed for optical communication systems, and their output current signals use the different modulation methods. Those circuits were designed and simulated in TSMC 0.18μm CMOS process technology.
The first laser diode driver(LDD) was designed using common cathode for reducing noise interference and signal distortion. The LDD used the capacitively couple current amplifier(C3A) to improve the switching time of LDD. The LDD can be operated at 10-Gb/s non-return zero(NRZ) data; its modulation current can be adjusted from 2 to 13 mA. The LDD suits for OC-192 system or 10-Gb Ethernet.
The second LDD was designed for four-level pulse amplitude modulation(PAM-4) to reduce the required circuit bandwidth and easy design of high-speed circuits. The LDD can transmit 5-Gb/s data; its total
modulation current can be adjusted from 0 to 9 mA; and its bias current can be set from 0 to 10 mA. Using the same PAM-4 decode receiver circuit, the LDD can be applied in high-speed optical fiber transmission

Laser diode driver circuit design includes the use of circuit simulation software and layout of the whole laser diode driver circuit. Also how to simulate the fiber modules. The light signals pass through the optical fiber because of chromatic dispersion and other effects caused by the ISI, which will affect the accuracy of the signal read out. This laser diode driver uses the taps architecture to cancel the ISI effect to ensure that the data can be read out correctly at high frequency. The principle of the circuits operation will be illustrated in the time domain.

碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>電機工程學系所<br>94<br>One of the most important factors for applying optical system is its cost. Conventionally, high speed optical transceivers are implemented in expensive GaAs process. Nowadays, with the blooming progress in VLSI technology, several GHz front-end circuits in CMOS and SiGe process have been successively demonstrated.
This thesis explores circuit techniques for optical transmitter front-end design in 0.35µm BiCMOS technology. The objective goals of this research are to realize a single chip of 3.3V high speed (3.125Gb/s & 10Gb/s) optical transmitter front-end ICs including laser diode drivers, and auto-power control circuits.
In the thesis two different kinds of laser diode drivers are presented. The output driving value of modulated and bias current can operate form 10mA to 100mA. In order to supply enough current to reach the maximum desired optical output power with a low-efficiency laser and high threshold current under high- temperature.
Because of the strong temperature and age dependence of the laser’s L/I curve, laser diode driver need a feedback mechanism so-called auto-power control (APC) that actively maintains consistent laser diode performance by continuously monitoring the optical output and correcting it for variations caused by changes in operating temperature and laser diode degradation. In the thesis two kinds of APC circuit are presented. One is an analog dual loop control which can maintain constant output power without disturbing extinction ratio another has both analog and digital control mechanism which not only has same advantage of last control mechanism but also can control the bias current more accurate. In order to apply in burst mode optical transmitter the second auto-power mechanism also can store the selected power level in up-down-counter which help the feedback loop to be stable faster.

Full textAbstract:
Cavity ring-down spectroscopy has been used over the last twenty years as a highly sensitive absorption spectroscopic technique to measure light attenuation in gases, liquids, and solid samples. An optical cavity is used as a multi-pass cell, and the decay time of the light intensity in the cavity is measured, thereby rendering the techniques insensitive to light intensity fluctuations. Optical waveguides are used to build the optical cavities presented in this work. The geometries of such waveguides permit the use of very small liquid sample volumes while retaining the advantages of cavity ring-down spectroscopy.
In this thesis cavity ring-down measurements are conducted, both, in the time domain and by measuring phase-shifts of sinusoidally modulated light, and the two methods are theoretically connected using a simple mathematical model, which is then experimentally confirmed. A new laser driver, that is compatible with high powered diode lasers, has to be designed to be able to switch from time domain to frequency domain measurements.
A sample path length enhancement within the optical cavity is explored with the use of liquid core waveguides. The setup was optimised with respect to the matrix liquid, the geometrical matching of waveguide geometries, and the shape of liquid core waveguide ends. Additionally, a new technique of producing concave lenses at fibre ends has been developed and the output of a general fibre lens is simulated.
Finally, liquid core waveguides are incorporated into a fibre-loop ring-down spectroscopy setup to measure the attenuation of two model dyes in a sample volume of <1 µL. The setup is characterized by measuring concentrations of Allura Red AC and Congo Red from 1 µM to a limit of detection of 5 nM. The performance of the setup is compared to other absorption techniques measuring liquid samples.<br>Thesis (Ph.D, Chemistry) -- Queen's University, 2013-04-23 14:08:16.33
