What are the requirements of Laser Diode Drive

When it comes to diode laser power supplies, there are certain things that need to be kept in mind to avoid any issue. Laser Power Supplies have some requirements as well that need to be kept in mind to avoid any problem. In this blog, we will come to know some main requirements of Laser Diode Drive. If you curious to know about it, you are at the right place.
Requirements of Laser Diode Drive:
1. Current regulation is one of the important aspects of laser power supplies. It is efficient enough to give an accurate result that can help you perform certain tasks without any fear. Optical power output of laser diode increases with the decrease in temperature. This ensures that you can perform the right task at the right point of time. This means without any optical feedback, laser diode switched on and can be easily adjusted as per the current room temperature. Current is set up once the laser diode has warmed up. It commonly blows out when it gets switched to the room temperature. There is no optical feedback as per the regulation.
2. Absolute current limiting. It comprises immunity to the power line transients along with those that may occur while power on and power off. There are certain parameters of several electronic parts such as ICs are hardly assigned while charging input power. Particular laser diode driver chips can be found with such requirements.

When it comes to seeking electric items or parts, you have to be very attentive and review various things. This can give you a good idea for the selection process. The knowledge is always useful to get the right thing at the right point of time.For more information, please visit our website:http://www.analogtechnologies.com/laserdriver.html

Thermoelectric Cooler Controller Design Made Simpler

This article is from Photonics Magazine. TEC controller design experts from Analog Tehcnologies, Inc offer tips to lower the cost and simplify the design of the devices, and to increase their ease of use.
Thermoelectric cooler (TEC) controllers are becoming more prevalent in thermal management designs because they can drive a thermoelectric cooler to stabilize the temperature of laser diodes or passive components used in communications equipment.
TECs have several advantages for temperature regulation: high accuracy and stability, fast response time, a wide set-point temperature range, and a simple structural design with no moving parts. Also, they are small and lightweight, reliable, noise-free and environmentally friendly. However, when comparing with temperature regulation approaches based on heat sinks or compressors, for applications requiring especially high thermal power output, TECs may have certain shortcomings: low efficiency, low thermal power, high cost of both TECs and controllers, and complex controller designs.

Figure 1. Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) are highly accurate and stable for temperature control, with a wide set-point temperature range and a simple packaging design with no moving parts. They are small and light, highly reliable, noise-free and environmentally friendly. Here, a structural diagram of a TEC.

Cold/hot sides and +/- terminals
In 1834, French physicist Jean-Charles Athanase Peltier found that the junctions of dissimilar metals are heated or cooled depending upon the direction in which an electric current passes through them. This effect became the Peltier effect.
A TEC has two ceramic plates with Peltier elements sandwiched in between. Based on the Peltier effect, these elements produce heat and cold by injecting an electric current through them. All the Peltier elements are connected in series; the first and last are each connected to a separate wire terminal. The plate on which the two terminals are mounted is often called the hot-side plate or simply the hot side; the other side is designated the cold-side plate or the cold side. The two sides are symmetrical in terms of thermal functionality, but the thermal load of the side with the terminals is a little higher because of the wire leads.
A DC current is injected into the TEC through the two terminals, and this generates a temperature difference between the two plates: One plate becomes cooler, while the other side becomes warmer.
When the cold side cools down, the TEC terminal connecting the positive lead of the power supply is designated as the plus (+) terminal, or the positive lead of the TEC; the other is designated as the minus (-) terminal, or the negative lead. As the DC current reverses direction – i.e., flows out from the plus terminal – the cold side will heat up and the hot side cool down. Therefore, TECs can be used both for cooling down and heating up the thermal load.

TECs can’t “generate” cold; they only move heat from one side to the other. They “produce” heat more efficiently than cold under the same size or current conditions because not all of the electric energy of the DC current is used for removing the heat; some energy is consumed by the Peltier elements and converted into heat, which is conducted to the two sides of the TEC at the same time. This heat boosts the heating-up power of the TEC but makes the cooling-down function less efficient.For more information, please visit our website:http://www.analogtechnologies.com/tec-controller.html

TEC Controllers

The principle of TEC control is called Peltier Effect, which was discovered by Jean Charles Athanase Peltier in 1834. Briefly speaking, it reveals that fact when a current is passed through a couple, a temperature difference is created between the two sides of the thermocouple. TEC (Thermo-Electric Cooler, or Peltier Cooler) is a semiconductor device which can cool down or heat up the temperature of a thermal load depending on the direction of the current going through the two terminals of the TEC. By using a TEC controller, the thermal load temperature can be regulated precisely by controlling the direction and magnitude of the current going through the TEC. TECA1-XV-XV-D series TEC controllers features high efficiency, high stability, high reliability and compact sizes. The maximum current is 2.5A. They are often used for controlling temperature in laser systems. Many of these TEC controllers work well with our TEC Modules, Thermistors and Thermally Conductive Epoxy.

The Definition of Low Niose Amplifier

The Definition of Low Niose Amplifier_Manufacturer of Thermistors, Laser drivers, Resistor kits, Smt capcitor kits & Tec controllers

As it is known to all, some very low frequency noise (0.1Hz to 10Hz) can’t be measured by oscilloscope, so we design a circuit to amplify these low noises to make sure noise value can be common figures which has been given in amplifier datasheets. As this circuit designed to amplify the low frequency noise, we achieve this function ranging from a 0.1Hz second order high pass filter to a 10Hz forth order low pass filter. As the internal noise of amplifier will also influence the testing result, we will try to reduce itself noise coefficient to improve the output ratio of signal power vs. noise power.

Ideal amplifier noise coefficient is F = 1 (0 db), and its physical meaning is that the output ratio of signal power vs. noise power is equal to the input ratio of signal power vs. noise power. A well-designed low noise amplifier FN can reach < 3 db. When testing low noise figure, use temperature (Te) as amplifier noise performance metrics: Te = T0 (F – 1). Here, unit of noise coefficient and noise temperature are both kelvin (K) when it is under ambient temperature.

The signal that circuit received is very weak, so the low noise amplifier has to achieve the function of amplifying small signal. Besides, due to the influence of strong signal interference in the transmission path, the strength of the noise will change also. Therefore, the amplifier needs to have a large enough linear range and gain can be adjusted..For more information, please visit our website:http://www.analogtechnologies.com/thermistor.html

The Most Obvious Features of NTC Thermistors

NTC is short for Negative Temperate Coefficient. Resistance is varied with the temperature change, and its resistance will decrease when the temperature rise and vice-versa. For example, the resistance is 50kΩ when it is at 25℃, while the resistance may be only 40kΩ when it is at 50℃. It is theory on the technical level, hard to explain. However, there is an example in our life. It is much easier to understand. This feature of thermistors can be widely applied in real life. Absolutely, every family has at least one electric cooker. When the rice is done, the cooker will keep warm automatically. How does it work? That is, when the temperature gets high in the cooker, the resistance of the thermistor in the electric cooker will decrease. With current changing, the cooker will switch from heating state to keeping warm state automatically.For more information, please visit our website:http://www.analogtechnologies.com/thermistor.html

Reduce Risk of Burning Electronic Equipments with NTC Thermistors

Thermistors are temperature- sensing elements. They are made up of semiconductor material and are largely used in electrical parts and electronic items. The materials used in thermistors manufacturing are capable of indicating large changes in resistance in proportion to small changes in temperature. Thus thermistors are regarded as highly incredible tool to measure accurate drop and rise in temperature. The sensitive materials used can measure even the slightest change in resistance and temperature.

 

NTC Thermistors are non-linear resistors. They are radial leaded discs or similarly assembled in order to provide high performance with durable result. The resistance of this kind of thermistor decreases as there is a rise in temperature. The resistance through the thermistor can be measured by passing small and measured direct current, which also predicts drop in the voltage. Significant uses of NTC thermistors can be as follows:

 

NTC thermistors are generally designed to protect other electronic components from a high and sudden inflow of current.

These high performance NTC thermistors are known to work well with devices like TEC controllers, and TEC modules.

NTC thermistors are designed in a way so that it is capable of building a high stability low drift temperature control system.

The NTC thermistors are mainly glass coated, which make them the most sensitive, precise and low drift sensors.

NTC thermistors have proven to be extremely reliable and inexpensive.

NTC thermistors are essential and their presence is critical for the protection of electronic components within any product that has a circuit.

 

The selection of NTC thermistor should be dependent upon the application of the gadget and maximum continuous current that results due to voltage. The range of thermistors available with Analog Technologies is made out of good quality material and can be efficiently used for your daily requirement.For more information, please visit our website:http://www.analogtechnologies.com/tec-controller.html

Parameters of Low Noise Amplifier

Parameters of amplifier noise performance can be reflected by these two most important factors, one is voltage noise and the other is current noise.

Voltage noise is the voltage fluctuation on the condition that the input of amplifier is short circuit and without any surrounding noise. While for current noise, current noise is input current fluctuation when the input of the amplifier is open circuit and without any surrounding noise.

The typical indicator for noise amplifier is the noise density. As it is known to all, the unit of voltage noise density is nV/, and the unit of current noise density is pA/. Voltage noise includes broadband noise and low frequency noise. Broadband noise belongs to the noise which is with a flat noise density curve. In addition, amplifier also has low-frequency noise zone, and which is with a not flat noise density curve. Besides, we also name it as 1 / f noise, flicker noise, and low frequency noise.For more information, please visit our website:http://www.analogtechnologies.com/tec-controller.html
