Presentation Transcript

  1. Laser Drive Needs • Total laser current • ITOT = IBIAS + IMOD • BIAS Current • Keeps ITOT > ITH (laser “on”) • IBIAS – ITH related to speed • Modulation (MOD) Current • Shaped by the data • Larger IMOD gives larger signal IBIAS IMOD ITOT

  2. MAX3287 Evaluation Kit

  3. Test Setup for Maxim board • Tested to verify its functionality • Two test conducted for Maxim board • DC coupled output of Maxim board • AC coupled output of Maxim board • Equipment used • 5V power supply • SMA cables and connectors • Oscilloscope and function generator

  4. Test Results for Maxim boardDC coupled • Near perfect open eye • Fits the compliance mask • Signifies very low SNR • Slight dip at the bottom (unexplained phenomenon)

  5. Test Results for Maxim boardAC coupled • Again a near perfect open eye • Low SNR • Fits the compliance mask • The dip on bottom disappears (mysteriously)

  6. Circuit from unstuffed part of MAX 3287 Eval board • Remove feedback loop PD, bias adjustment PNP

  7. Circuit from unstuffed part of MAX 3287 Eval board • Keep almost all other components • Use Eval board part numbers for inductors (ferrite beads)

  8. Design elements • Match load on OUT- with OUT+ as well as you can • Need to adjust Laser DC Bias current • Need to adjust Laser modulation current
