Objective

To investigate laser diode output current drift under the change of ambient temperature.

Test Setup

Hardware

Kirdy Rev0_3 with no LD adapter installed

The LD output current is controlled by MAX5719 20bit DAC being connected with LTC6655 4.096V Reference
The LD Drive Circuit has a transimpedance of 10.0/0.75 (1/Ohm)

Firmware:

A Custom firmware based on commit b8241d1f27

  • AD7172-2 has a built-in temperature sensor. It is located far away from the major heat source so it can be use as a reference for the ambient temperature.
  • Firmware is modified to read the AD7172-2 Temperature Sensor and report it via debug console and report for data logging.
  • AD7172-2 Filter Settings
    • Temperature Sensor: Sinc5Sinc1 Filter 31,250SPS -> 6211SPS (as multiple channels are enabled)
    • Laser Diode NTC: Sinc5Sinc1 with Enhanced 50 Hz and 60 Hz Rejection Filters: 16.667SPS

Test Equipment

Agilent 34401A Multimeter (Not re-calibrated since manufacturing)

  • Measurement Mode: DC Current Mode with 6.5 Digit Measurement
  • Integration Time: 100 PLC
  • Input Range: 0-100mA
  • Internal Shunt Resistance: 5 Ohm

A Temperature Controlled Oven is used to heat up the air around the board evenly

Circuit Connection:

  • LD+ and LD- are connected directly to the Multimeter

Output Setting

Thermostat: Turned OFF
Laser Diode Output Current: 50mA

Result

Board Temperature (Degree) Current (mA)
43.1801299361277 50.0277
47.0413065928144 50.0263
49.102155476 50.0257

51.5556305968064 50.0249
55.903212552 50.0235

Controllable Range = 307.2mA
Temperature Coefficient = -0.328713232975702(uA/Degree) = -1.122007 (LSB/Degree) = -1.07003005525945 (ppm/Degree)
Note: Calculated with Linear Regression

Temperature Reading Cross Checked:
Fluke 87V: 46.2 Degree
Temperature Reading on the Oven: 46.2 Degree
Kirdy Board Temperature Reading: 45.072815 Degree

(Edited1 : Add ppm calculation)
(Edited2: Add temperature readings comparison with different instruments)
