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 ...

Range finders are used for a wide range of tasks, from measuring the distance to an object a few feet away to the distance between the moon and the earth. They work by sending a group of energy pulses ...

[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 ...

FORT COLLINS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ IXYS), a leader in power semiconductors for power conversion and motion control applications, announced today that its Colorado division ...

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).

Touted as the market's lowest-power laser diode driver, the MAX3930 is designed to directly modulate laser diodes at data rates up to 10.7 Gb/s while drawing only 108 mA from a single +5V or -5.2V ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ricoh Electronic Devices has expanded its portfolio with the addition of two new Laser Diode Driver ICs targeted for laser scanning type automotive and consumer projector applications. Laser driven ...
