Effect of PWM control of a Laser Diode on Its Characteristics
Folta, Lukáš ; Ing. Jan Látal, Ph.D. (VŠB-TUO) (referee) ; Šťáva, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the measurement of the characteristics of two semiconductor laser diodes (LD) and its automation. The effect of current control method and LD temperature is compared here. The first chapter is devoted to the theoretical basis of the sub-areas of the experiments, a literature review dealing with laser control using pulse width modulation (PWM) is carried out, and the method of realization of the measured experiments is presented. The second chapter first defines the methods of recalculating the measured data and determines their uncertainties. The following are three subsections presenting the results of individual experiments. The first experiment deals with continuous control and the other two deal with pulse control, one using a commercially available laser driver and the other using a switch designed primarily for this work. The conclusion of the work contains a comparison of the measured results, evaluates their usability and suggests possible extensions of this work.
