Design of high precision constant temperature control systems based on laser diodes

In order to obtain stable output power and wavelength from a semiconductor laser in a large range of temperature, according to the characteristics of small volume, light weight and the high requirement of temperature stability of a semiconductor laser, with a negative-coefficient heat-sensitive resistance as a temperature sensor, a temperature control system was designed based on a micro control unit(MCU)and direct proportion-integration-differentiation(PID)algorithm. Changing the width and amplitude of the pulse width modulation signal output from the MCU to adjust the driving current and direction of the thermoelectric cooler, the temperature of the semiconductor laser was controlled at about 25℃± 0.1℃. Experimental results show that the temperature control system is with high precision and fast responsibility in a large range of temperature, it is better than other similar products.
