Analysis of Laser Weldment Distortion in the EDFA LD Pump Packaging

광신호 증폭기 EDFA LD 펌프 패키징 레이저 용접부 변형 해석

This paper presents a study on the LD Pump laser welded heat transfer and distortion analysis by using finite element method. In the production processing, ferrule and saddle of LD Pump in light-wave communication system are welded by multi mode Nd-YAG laser. Thus distortion happens during laser-welded packaging, and it makes an error of detecting the light signal translated through optical fiber in LD Pump. These parts experience thermal and mechanical hysteresis during heating and cooling process come from laser welding. The amount of final displacement is predicted using the finite element method. And the optimal shape is decided by using the result of pre-analysis.
