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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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).

Photonic Products Ltd, the UK optoelectronics device manufacturer and laser diode specialist, has launched a 25mW version of their hugely popular 405nm (blue-violet) Photon laser diode modules with ...

Available in wavelengths for biomedical, R&D, and laboratory applications, the Stradus family of laser diode modules deliver digital modulation at 200 MHz. Wavelengths include 660 nm at 100 mW, 642 nm ...

As technology advances, photonic systems are gaining ground over traditional electronics, using light to transmit and process information more efficiently. One such optical system is laser beam ...

Selective Metal Sintering is cool but slow. Fear not, a technology that was initially developed to smooth and pattern laser beams is here to save the day, according to a new paper by Lawrence ...
