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).

In the circuit shown above, Vs is a 10-V square wave period 4ms, R=100Ω, and C=20µF. Sketch Vc for the first two cycles of Vs if the capacitor is initially uncharged and the diode is ideal. Source: ...
