12 lasers from different wavelengths were powered at their nominal current during 1000 hours while in vacuum conditions
Laser diodes characterization can be complex due to the laser’s nature. A good heat dissipation must be provided to avoid lasers being damaged. Unique and challenging equipment is required for a perfect characterization because accuracy is a must with this optical component.
The real challenge? The test setup definition and implementation when lasers must be tested in extreme conditions, like vacuum or high/low temperatures.
Test Engineer in Innovation and New Technologies Department at Alter Technology Tüv Nord
Alejandro López Moya has a Degree in Electronics Engineering from the University of Jaén.
After ending his studies in 2010, Alejandro started to work as a Test engineer, where he has accumulated more than 10 years of experience. He has developed a career focused on the design/development/execution of test systems for the most leading technology sectors like Aerospace, Aeronautics, and Automotive.
Since he joined Alter Technology in June 2016 as part of the Optoelectronics and New Technologies Department, Alejandro has been in charge of developing complex electronics designs based on FPGA/uP for Image sensors and mixed-signal ICs testing. Still, at the same time, he has been responsible for test setup development and test execution for all kinds of optoelectronics components. Within his framework, he is currently qualifying components for ESA projects like JUICE.
