Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
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
Test Equipment
Agilent 34401A Multimeter (Not re-calibrated since manufacturing)
A Temperature Controlled Oven is used to heat up the air around the board evenly
Circuit Connection:
Output Setting
Thermostat: Turned OFF
Laser Diode Output Current: 50mA
Result
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)
