(3) laser starts to shine under the driving of the laser driver, treats the outputting current steadily of laser driver In the predetermined output current, switch the control information so that the working status of the laser driver is changed into automated power State of a control.
In order to shorten the stabilization time of automated power control state, automated power control state is divided into by register: High-Speed Automatic power control status and normal speed automated power control state, wherein, the control of storage second is further included in step (1) Information processed, second control information are used to control the automated power control shape in the automated power control state of laser driver State and normal speed automated power control state, the electric current adjustment frequency of laser driver under the High-Speed Automatic power control status Rate is more than the electric current adjustment frequency of laser driver under the normal speed automated power control state.
The driving method of laser is further comprising the steps of in the optical module of the present invention:
The working status of the laser driver is arranged to High-Speed Automatic by the second control information stored using register Power control status;
After closed-loop stabilization, the working status of the laser driver is arranged to normal automated power control shape State.
The invention also discloses a kind of optical mode laser drive circuit in the block, including:Laser works circuit and automatic work( Rate control circuit, the laser works circuit are connected with the automatic power control circuit by switching device.

Embodiment
The present invention is further described with reference to embodiment.
It is LD operating circuits on the left of circuit in Fig. 2, right side is APC loops, and APC loops pass through switching device in the present invention It is attached with left side circuit, on the left of switch connection during circuit, belongs to closed loop states, APC loop works, transmit from LD rear ends Light out is detected by a photoelectric monitoring diode PD, then the luminous power detected is converted to back facet current IPIN, IPINIt is added in integrated transporting discharging filter and amplification input terminal generation one and is proportional to LD average light powers PAVGMean direct voltage, this Voltage and reference voltage VREFCompare, then amplify by trsanscondutance amplifier, output is used for controlling the feedback biasing electric current of LD IBIASFBForm negative feedback loop.When LD Output optical power reduces, the output current I of PDPINReduce, trsanscondutance amplifier output current IBIASFBForward direction outflow, is superimposed upon DC bias current IBLASOn, make the bias current of LD increase, vice versa, and such LD's is flat Equal luminous power PAVGJust remain constant.When switching device is grounded, belong to open loop situations, at this time, APC does not work LD electric Road provides feedback biasing electric current IBIASFB, laser driver, which provides LD, stablizes constant DC bias current IBLAS.In Fig. 2 Switching device can be ambipolar HF power transistor, thyristor circuit and field-effect tube, by laser driver core The register of on piece is controlled.
As shown in figure 3, the driving method of the laser driver of the present invention comprises the following steps:Initialization register, is set The value of the register of laser driving chip, two storage address of mask register carry out memory driver working state control letter Breath, the first storage address represent the open loop situations and closed loop automated power control (APC) state of laser with " 0 ", " 1 " respectively, And initial value is arranged to " 0 ";Second storage address " 0 ", " 1 " represent the high-speed closed loop automatic loop control shape of laser respectively State and normal speed closed loop automatic loop control state;The initial value of two storage control information is set to " 0 ", makes to power on Afterwards, the work of laser driving chip enters open loop situations, i.e. output parameter does not feed back to input terminal and participates in output current value (partially Put electric current IBLAS) adjusting, then given expected current values and other background register initial values, by laser driver (LD) Output current be transferred to specified current flow, open laser driver at this time, laser driver needs certain time to stablize output, Be not in that overshoot is existing under open loop situations since default electric current is configured according to the threshold current of laser As;Wait module under opened loop control state after working stability, i.e. when the output current of laser driver has arrived at preset value, At this time, the driving current of laser and expected operating current difference are smaller, and regulated quantity is little, so curent change will not Too big, output light would not also overshoot, then that by register the work of laser driving chip is arranged to high-speed closed loop is automatic Loop state of a control, at this time bias current IBLASChange is little, therefore required feedback biasing electric current IBIASFBAlso can expire quickly Foot, can make APC loop to rapidly enter stable state under this state, shorten APC loop settling times, but the laser sent is also It is not sufficiently stable;When laser driving chip is arranged to again after the loop stability under high-speed closed loop automatic loop control state Normal speed closed loop automatic loop control state is run, and reduces the change speed of loop current, and the laser for making to send is stablized.So Stable APC loops can be established within the time as defined in standard, export stable light.
The preferred embodiment of the present invention described in detail above, still, during present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above Detail, in the range of the technology design of the present invention, a variety of equivalents can be carried out to technical scheme, this A little equivalents belong to protection scope of the present invention.
