Abstract:
In a testing method for an LD, an LD die is held. Then, electric current increasing with a fixed increment and having a sequence of current values is supplied to the LD die to drive the LD die to emit light and a sequence of voltage values across the LD die and corresponding to the sequence of current values, respectively, is metered. A sequence of power values corresponding to the sequence of current values, respectively, is also metered. Next, an electro-optical property of the LD die is determined according to the sequence of current values, the sequence of voltage values, and the sequence of power values. Finally, if the LD die is determined to be qualified based upon the electro-optical property of the LD die, the LD die is packaged into the LD.

An optical coupling module includes a substrate, a circuit board defining two through holes, an optical waveguide positioned between the substrate and the circuit board, and an optical assembly. The optical waveguide includes a core and a clad, each core comprises two coupling surfaces corresponding to the two through holes. At least one coupling surfaces is in an arcuate shape. The clad covers the core, except for the two coupling surfaces exposing out of the clad. The optical assembly formed on the circuit board comprises an optical emitting element and an optical receiving element. The optical emitting element and the optical receiving element are positioned above the two through holes, respectively. Light emitted from the optical emitting element enters the optical waveguide via one of the coupling surface, and leaves from another coupling surface to reach the optical receiving element. The coupling surface is capability of focusing light.
