  • High power laser diode test system and method of manufacture
    Patent number: 10161996
    Abstract: A method of characterizing the performance of laser diode is disclosed wherein at least one laser diode device configured to emit optical radiation is detachably coupled to at least one carrier device, the carrier device configured to be positioned within at least one device test module, at least one unitary clamping force is controllably applied to the laser diode device thereby coupling the carrier device to the device test module, and at least one optical characteristic of the laser diode device is measured during use.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 26, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 25, 2018
    Assignee: Newport Corporation
    Inventors: John Curry, Christopher Cole Chandler, Wade P Watts, Nicholas Donnie Harriott
