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.

Abstract:
In a testing method for a laser diode (LD) die, a sequence of current values of electric current increasing with a fixed increment is calculated. Then, control parameters are obtained. The electric current is applied to the LD die according to the control parameters. A sequence of voltage values across the LD die and a sequence of power values of light emitted form the LD die are measured according to the control parameters. A table and a graph are generated using the sequence of current values, the sequence of voltage values, and the sequence of power values. Both of the table and the graph indicate an electro-optical property of the LD die. Next, whether the LD die is qualified is determined based upon the table, the graph, and a predetermined electro-optical property.
