The junction temperature measurement of laser diode (LD) is very important in its temperature control and thermal characteristic study. Based on the study on the structure and thermal-electric equivalent circuit model of laser diode module ( LDM), a mathematic model of the laser chip and thermistor in the LDM is established. The dynamic junction temperature can process. The model is validated be monitored using the thermistor integrated in with indirect temperature measurement through the LDM during thermal dynamic monitoring the emission wavelength of the laser diode using gas absorption lines. The uncertainty of the estimated dynamic junction temperature of laser diode is about 0.01 K. The dynamic junction temperature during current tuning process is measured as well, and the junction temperature variation in a sawtooth current scan cycle is 0. 044 K. While using thermistor to estimate the junction temperature of laser diode, the estimation accuracy is immune of the disturbance of ambient temperature and injection current in various thermal dynamic processes. The method requires no additional devices and is suitable for in situ, on-line laser diode applications. It can also be applied to study the thermal properties of laser diode module.
