A method and apparatus are disclosed for applying laser energy to a food product to effect cooking thereof. The energy can be applied with a laser emitter in proximity to the food product. The application of the energy can be controlled according to a profile so as to generate a plasma in and around the food product during a cooking period. The application of energy can be adjusted based on feedback associated with the controlled application of the energy to the food product.

Method and apparatus for plasma assisted laser cooking of food products

Burn-in module 120 contains a lower socketless board 230 and an upper socketless board 240. Device sitting positions 210, or a high temperature resistant sheet 610 perform the socket functions of holding the device 400 laterally in place and routing test signals to the device 400. The lower socketless board 230 has electrical leads which carry test signals from the oven circuitry 140 to the plurality of device positions 210. The lower socketless board 230 is fastened to the upper socketless board 240 by a connector 220. If the upper socketless board 240 is modified to contain electrical leads then connector 220 may also act as an electrical connector and carry electrical signals from the lower socketless board 230 to the upper socketless board 240.

A device tester provides signals to a device under test. A parallel compare circuit then receives all the outputs of the device and compares each of the outputs with one another simultaneously. Next the parallel compare circuit will produce an output pattern which is compared to the expected test pattern stored in the tester. If the output pattern from the parallel compare circuit is the same as the expected test pattern the device will be considered a properly working device; conversely, if the patterns do not match the device will be considered an improperly working device.
