摘要： A servo or control technique and apparatus for performing wavelength locking employs the phase-shift modulation scheme to adjust one or more optical elements in the laser cavity to lock the lasing frequency toward a desired channel frequency. A controller comprises a high bandwidth mode and a low bandwidth mode. When initially locking to a new channel, the high bandwidth controller mode may be used to supply more energy to drive an actuator to achieve faster seeking. When an error signal approaches within a pre-defined threshold of zero error, the controller may be switched to a lower bandwidth mode supplying less power to the actuator to softly approach the target frequency and avoid overshoot. The lower bandwidth controller mode may keep the noise level lower and provide better frequency tracking stability to the tunable laser.

摘要： A tunable external cavity laser apparatus and method of laser operation. The apparatus includes a gain medium having first and second facets defining a facet laser cavity in which a first portion of light is internally reflected to produce a first lasing condition having a first reflection phase. A reflective element is positioned opposite the second facet of the gain medium, forming an external laser cavity defined by the first facet and reflective element. A second portion of light is internally reflected within the external cavity to produce a second lasing condition having a second reflection phase. A phase adjustment means is employed to adjust the first reflection phase relative to the second reflection phase so as to control a characteristic of the output beam emitted from the apparatus, such as the power output level of the beam. In one aspect, the relative phase is adjusted by controlling the temperature of the gain medium.

摘要： A servo technique for concurrently providing wavelength locking and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) suppression in an external cavity laser. Respective wavelength locking and SBS suppression signals are generated by a controller and combined into a composite drive signal. The composite drive signal is used to drive an optical path length adjustment element to modulate the optical path length of the laser cavity. The wavelength locking and SBS suppression portions of the drive signals produce concurrent modulations of the laser optical path length having different modulation frequencies and causing different frequency (wavelength) excursions. These modulations produce corresponding wavelength and intensity amplitude modulations in the laser's output. A feedback signal indicative of the intensity amplitude modulations is filtered to attenuate the portion of the signal due to the SBS suppression modulation, and is received as a tuning feedback signal by the controller. In response, the control provides a tuning adjustment signal to adjust the frequency of the laser.

摘要： A method for tuning a laser via a temperature control loop that linearizes a non-linear characteristic of a thermal electric cooler (TEC) element used to adjust the temperature of tuning components and corresponding laser apparatus. One or more TEC elements are thermally coupled to respective tuning components, such as etalon filters. The TEC elements provide a heat transfer function (cooling rate) in response to a received electrical input (drive signal), wherein the relationship between the cooling rate and the drive signal is non-linear. An un-compensated drive signal produced by the control loop is compensated such that the open loop gain of the control loop is linearized via a linearizer control block. In effect, the non-linear transfer function of the TEC element is cancelled out by the linearizer control block to produce a linear relationship between the cooling rate and the drive signal. This open loop gain linearization enables tuning events such as channel slewing, and laser start-up operations to be performed with reduced tuning overshoots and undershoots that would otherwise result from the non-linear TEC transfer function characteristic.

摘要： Disclosed is a Mini Probe Positioning Actuator which is low in cost and mass, capable of high accelerations, relatively long stroke and compact packaging. The probe positioning actuator is composed of a pair of substantially parallel cantilevered beams, each beam being comprised of flexible, signal carrying cable formed of a polyimide composition which allows for the probe tip to be suspended from and form part of the armature of the actuator. The armature also includes a pair of oppositely wound coils intermediate the beams, which coils coact electromagnetically with a pair of spaced apart but fixedly positioned (relative to the coils/armature) magnets forming a motor for effecting armature and thus probe tip movement. The light mass of the coils and armature and the dual functional purpose of the suspension beams serves to make the probe actuator highly accurate and sensitive while allowing for reliable operation.

摘要： The sequential order of movements of a number of probes within a circuit test fixture is optimized through the use of an algorithm which sequentially orders test configurations provided in an input list. Each test configuration corresponds to the locations of probes within the fixture as a particular test is performed. In a first pass of the algorithm, for each test configuration, every other test configuration is considered as a next move candidate for which a weighted distance is calculated from the test configuration. Weighting factors reflect the degree of difficulty in moving one direction instead of another. A need to move one probe before another or to move in one direction before another, in order to prevent a collision within the test fixture, is also considered. A predetermined number of next move candidates having the lowest weighted distances are placed in an intermediate list for the test configuration. In a second pass of the algorithm, test configurations are linked, one to another, to form a list reflecting a preferred order of probe movement. In the process of linking with a test configuration, the available next move candidate having the shortest weighted distance is chosen from the intermediate list of the test configuration. If no available next move candidates remain in the intermediate list, the process returns to the first pass of the algorithm to get more next move candidates. Additionally, the algorithm is used to sequentially order individual points for a test fixture having only a single probe.

摘要： A fixture for testing circuits includes a rectangular array of conductive test pads, alternating with insulating areas in a checkerboard-like pattern. In a first embodiment, the entire array is printed on a central portion of a plastic membrane, with outer portions of the membrane carrying electrical lines from the test pads to connectors. In a second embodiment, the rectangular array is formed on surfaces of a number of closely packet plastic membranes, each of which has tabs extending away from the testing surface to connectors. The test fixture is generic, not being configured for testing a particular circuit configuration. To compensate for conditions of linear misalignment, the rectangular array is moved in a raster pattern having a size equal to the cell size of the rectangular array. To compensate for conditions of angular misalignment, the array may be rotated after such misalignment is measured, or test results may be compared with exemplary data for a number of misalignment conditions.
