Measurement of laser diode junction temperature using voltage drop method
The electrical test method (ETM) for diode junction temperature measurements is based on a three-step operation using the test set up shown (left) First, IM is applied and the diode under test (DUT) junction voltage is measured—the measurement value is referred to as. This paper describes and compares three different methods for laser diode junction temperature measurements. For Pulsed Operation, the Effective Thermal Resistance Varies With Time, Making it Difficult to Calculate TJ. The base-emitter voltage (V BE) of a BJT is the voltage drop across the base and emitter of the transistor.
