Interfacing laser driver circuits with commercially available laser diodes at high data rates can be a complicated and frustrating task. This application note is intended to briefly address this topic ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

[Les] from [Les’ Lab] has designed a driver for laser diodes up to 10 watts, and decided to show us how it operates, tells us what we should keep in mind when designing such a driver, and talks about ...

With the aid of an integrated monitor photodiode such laser diodes provide 5mW or 7mW output power with stable operation up to 70°C. The devices can even be offered in a very small 3.3mm TO-can ...

The increase in laser-diode sales has had a knock-on effect on activity in the diode-driver market. Neil Savage gives an update of the latest products on offer. Trends in laser-diode drivers, ...

The PC0-7120 is a pulsed-laser diode driver module featuring high-speed performance in a flexible mounting configurations and robust design package. It is designed to offer minimized cost design and ...

If there’s one lesson to be learned from [Aled Cuda]’s pulsed laser driver, it’s that you can treat the current limits on electronic components as a suggestion if the current duration is measured in ...

See this diagram,I've been told the the proprietary drivers offer some extra protection from very short spikes (on power up and shutdown) in the current which laser diodes are very sensitive to and ...

MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SiliconCore Technology, a leading fabless analog products company, today announced that the US Patent Office has approved its patent application for “Higher ...

The new laser diode driver iC-HT permits microcontroller-based activation of laser diodes in CW mode. With this device laser diodes can be driven by either the optical output power (using APC), the ...

IXYS Corporation announced the introduction of the PCX-7500 high-power laser diode driver/current source by its IXYS Colorado division. IXYS Corporation announced the introduction of the PCX-7500 high ...
