MAX3646
Average power is regulated using APC, which keeps
constant current from a photodiode coupled to the
laser. Peak-to-peak power is maintained by compen-
sating the modulation current for reduced slope effi-
ciency (h) of laser over time and temperature:
P
AVG
= I
MD
/ρ
MON
P
P-P
= η x I
MOD
Modulation compensation from bias increases the mod-
ulation current by a user-selected proportion (K) need-
ed to maintain peak-to-peak laser power as bias
current increases with temperature. Refer to Maxim
Application Note HFAN-02.21 for details:
K = ∆I
MOD
/ ∆I
BIAS
This provides a first-order approximation of the current
increase needed to maintain peak-to-peak power.
Slope efficiency decreases more rapidly as tempera-
ture increases. The MAX3646 provides additional tem-
perature compensation as temperature increases past
a user-defined threshold (T
TH
).
