    The function of temperature-measuring laser diodes

    Diodes are frequently used as temperature sensors in a wide variety of moderate-precision temperature measurement applications. Linear temperature coefficient such as –2mV/C° across operating temperatures makes diodes a great solution for flexible and low-cost applications. Light output center wavelength, spectrum, and power magnitude, and diode reliability are all directly dependent on the junction temperature. The usual practice is to select a measurement current (IM) value that is right around the knee of the diode forward current–voltage characteristic curve.
