Abstract: Methods for controlling lasers or other light emitting devices to compensate for performance degradations due to temperature changes and aging without disrupting the transmission of information are presented. Disclosed embodiments describe various methods of applying mathematical models and digital signal processing algorithms to continuously calculate and execute precise output power adjustments. A synthesized test signal is injected into the normal data stream is applied to the laser system. The magnitude of the test signal is sufficiently small that it is buried in system noise and will not alter the noise margin of the signal or the transmitted data. Micro-detection, recovery and digital signal processing of the embedded test signal produces precisely monitored output power and modulation amplitude measurements used to accurately adjust performance characteristics regardless of temperature or age.

A microprocessor or embedded microcontroller associated with visual enhancement circuit modules allows a single inverter to control the intensity of illumination for an array of multiple CCFLs. The microcontroller continuously senses the operating currents of every lamp and adjusts for variations in illumination of individual lamps by parallel switching of capacitance that ensures an equal current is applied to each lamp.

More specifically, the system uses a portable unit containing an array of tunable lasers, which are stabilized with a digital controller. The apparatus excites the sample under test with a narrow band light source used to excite fluorescence. The fluorescent response is detected with a broadband detector and digitized. The information is then sent through wireless means to a remote server where a database of appropriate signatures is used to determine the identity of the sample. The results are sent back to the portable unit or to a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).

Abstract: A controller (320) for controlling various operational parameters of the Laser Module (303). The modulation drive signal (300) causes the circuits in the driver (301) to send a signal to the output (302) so that the laser can send an optical power output (304) proportional to the drive signal (300).

Abstract: The present invention provides for a method for configuring a laser operating system. More specifically, the system utilizes a graphical user interface GUI to allow an operator to interact with an embedded controller and set parameters for an optical communications transceiver. The system adjusts parameters such as laser bias and modulation currents, wavelength, qualification tests, and file management. In other words, the GUI manages configurations of a transceiver operating system. The system provides for an efficient method to design a laser transceiver and to perform and manage qualification tests. The embedded controller may contain a real time operating system that controls multiple functions in the transceiver and an optical channel. The GUI interacts with an operating system to download embedded firmware into an embedded micro controller unit MCU. Downloading of firmware allows for multiple special programs from different sources to be integrated.
