System and method for reducing RF emissions associated with an optical drive laser diode HFM signal
Abstract:
An optical drive laser diode drive current has a High Frequency Modulation (HFM) signal superimposed to aid optical medium readability. The HFM signal is provided by an HFM oscillator interfaced with the laser diode drive current to provide the HFM signal with a frequency from within a predetermined range. A frequency controller varies the frequency of the HFM signal over time to reduce RF emissions associated with the HFM signal. For instance, the HFM signal frequency is varied in a swept sawtooth or triangle pattern. As another example, the HFM frequency is varied with random selections of frequencies from a predetermined frequency range.
