Project GabEECE 135 – Spring 2005Week 9 Omar Al-Jadda Patrick Crosby Adam Durity Rahmin Sarabi
Progress Report • Posted completed Midterm report to website • Tested two Tx’s • Tested and verified functioning Rx
Tx Testing • First test yielded non-working circuit • Laser driver not powered • PROBLEM: ground pins from power supply not grounded on board • SOLUTION: soldered a connection to ground plane FRONT BACK
Tx Testing • Laser Driver now powered successfully • Signal trace performed to VCSEL INPUT OUTPUT from Laser Driver
Tx Testing • MODSET potentiometer closes and opens eye • We will set to meet modulation current requirements Tx output - high resistance Tx output - low resistance
Tx Testing • VCSEL did not lase on both boards • Connected to pattern generator’s optical receiver • Rx LOS indicator came on - VCSEL off • Dr. Brooke’s approach to determine appropriate POT settings
Rx Testing • Tested with input from pattern generator • Very good eye pattern
Upcoming Week • Address lasing failure • Build second Rx • Revise design and schematic for second board run • Order second board
