摘要:
Control apparatus for a semi-conductor laser device. Apparatus for controlling the emission wavelength and power of a semi-conductor laser device in which the laser driver (5) is connected in a feedback loop comprising a beam-splitter (6), a photodiode (8) and an amplifier (19), which loop controls the driver (5) to maintain the intensity of the laser emission constant. The emission is also sampled by a beam-splitter (7) and a photodiode (9), which is made frequency-dependent by a filter (10) interposed in the path of the beam. The outputs of the matched photodiodes (8) and (9) are fed via amplifiers (11) and (13) to the positive and negative inputs of a subtractor amplifier (12), the output of which is therefore dependent only upon the emission wavelength. This output is fed as negative feedback to an amplifier (15) for controlling an operating parameter (such as the temperature) of the laser (1) to maintain the wavelength constant.
