Operation with Lasers with Temperature-Dependent
Nonlinearity of Laser LI Curve
The ADN2870 ERCL extracts information from the monitor
photodiode signal relating to the slope of the LI characteristics
at the Optical 1 level (P1). For lasers with good linearity over
temperature, the slope measured by the ADN2870 at the Optical 1
level is representative of the slope anywhere on the LI curve.
This slope information is used to set the required modulation
current to achieve the required optical extinction ratio.
Some types of lasers have LI curves that become progressively
more nonlinear with increasing temperature (see Figure 25). At
temperatures where the LI curve shows significant nonlinearity,
the LI curve slope measured by the ADN2870 at the Optical 1
level is no longer representative of the overall LI curve. It is
evident that applying a modulation current based on this slope
information cannot maintain a constant extinction ratio over
temperature.
However, the ADN2870 can be configured to maintain near
constant optical bias and an extinction ratio with a laser
exhibiting a monotonic temperature-dependent nonlinearity.
To implement this correction, it is necessary to characterize
a small sample of lasers for their typical nonlinearity by
measuring them at two temperature points, typically 25°C
and 85°C. The measured nonlinearity is used to determine the
amount of feedback to apply.
Typically, one must characterize 5 to 10 lasers of a particular
model to get a good number. The product can then be cali-
brated at 25°C only, avoiding the expense of temperature
calibration. Typically, the microcontroller supervisor is used
to measure the laser and apply the feedback. This scheme is
particularly suitable for circuits that already use a microcon-
troller for control and digital diagnostic monitoring.

The ER correction scheme, while using the average nonlinearity
for the laser population, in fact, supplies a corrective measure-
ment based on each laser’s actual performance as measured
during operation. The ER correction scheme corrects for errors
due to laser nonlinearity while the dual loop continues to adjust
for changes in the Laser LI.
For more details on maintaining average optical power and
extinction ratio over temperature when working with lasers
displaying a temperature-dependent nonlinearity of LI curve,
refer to the Application Note AN-743 available through Analog
Devices sales.
CONTROL
The ADN2870 has two methods for setting the average power
(P
extinction ratio can be voltage set using a microcontroller’s
voltage DAC outputs to provide controlled reference voltages to
PAVREF and ERREF. Alternatively, the average power and
extinction ratio can be resistor set using potentiometers at the
PAVSET and ERSET pins, respectively.
VOLTAGE SETPOINT CALIBRATION
The ADN2870 allows an interface to a microcontroller for both
control and monitoring (see Figure 26). The average power at
the PAVSET pin and extinction ratio at the ERSET pin can be
set using the microcontroller’s DAC to provide controlled
reference voltages PAVREF and ERREF. After power-on, the
ADN2870 starts an initial process that takes 25 ms before
enabling the alarms; therefore, the customer must ensure that
stable reference voltages to PAVREF and ERREF are available
within 20 ms.
