Expensive semiconductor laser diodes have no tolerance for fast voltage or current transients. To minimize the risk of damage, a standard JFET-clamp circuit shorts the laser when there is no supply ...

The circuit requires approximately 6 cm 2 of board space and has no reverse-polarity or failure protection for the laser diode. The start-up time of this discrete solution is approximately 20 ms.

Silanna Semiconductor has released the SL2002, the latest in its FirePower family of laser driver ICs. Purpose-built for ...

Thus, he talks extensively about designing the driver circuit with safety in mind ... [Les] shows the driver in action coupled with a laser diode, and produces enough smoke that we are legally ...

Silanna’s SL2002 laser driver ICs enable smaller and more efficient battery-powered range finding and measurement systems ...

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 ...

“This configuration allows these circuits, which have ultralow losses, to be tuned electro-optically,” explains team member Viacheslav Snigirev. It also facilitates injection locking of the laser ...
