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. Often the component cost is the only driving ...

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 ...

Low power dissipation and a high level of integration are two of the key claims made for the EL6250C chip, a driver circuit developed specifically for use with violet/blue laser diodes. Blue laser ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Anyone who has just spent several thousand pounds on a semiconductor laser diode should think twice before simply connecting it to a conventional laboratory power supply. To avoid damaging your laser ...

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, ...
