The Design Challenge In low power laser diode modules the designer has the option to use the classical discrete solution or take advantage of fully integrated driver ICs.

About the author Hunter Chou is an application engineer for optical storage products at Intersil Corp. He has more than 10 years of working experience in optical-storage industry including drive ...

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 ...

The technique described in the patent uses a proprietary semiconductor circuit design with a “Thin Gate Driver” output stage to achieve very fast switching of the high currents generated by ...

The laser driver consists of a high-speed modulation driver, laser-biasing block, and a pulse-width adjustment control circuit.

[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 ...

LASER COMPONENTS has established long term supply partnerships with several of the world’s leading laser diode and laser diode driver suppliers. We work closely with our partners to offer a ...

Development Board The EPC9154 development board features the EPC21601 eToF™ laser driver IC and is primarily intended to drive laser diodes with short, high current pulses.

The compact LD15CHA Laser Diode Driver delivers industrial grade power up to 15 A and 28 V output with bandwidth up to 600 kHz. The clipping current limit ensures the limit will never be exceeded, ...

A while ago, [Marco] mounted a powerful laser diode to a CNC machine in an attempt to etch copper clad board and create a few PCBs. The results weren’t that great, but the technique was promi… ...
