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 ...

While some decent lasers are out there for under $400 USD, they tend to be a little small. What if you wanted something a little nicer but didn’t want to jump to the $2,000 category? The answer for ...

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 ...

IXYS Corporation introduced the PCO-7114, a compact and economical pulsed-current OEM laser diode driver module that provides up to 50 Ampere current at a fixed pulse width of ≤4 nanoseconds. It is ...

The RN5C750 and RN5C752 are four-channel laser drivers that have been developed for use in RGB or RGGB laser scanning type screens. The 750 offers 1080p resolution and 60 fps image thanks to a fast ...

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 ...

The Compact Laser Diode Driver (cLDD) can be used with laser diode, SLED, SOA or similar device. The Compact Laser Diode Driver (cLDD) is an all-in-one unit that combines (a) a user interchangeable ...

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, ...

Intersil announced the ISL78365 laser diode driver for automotive heads-up display (HUD) systems. The highly integrated device pulses four high intensity lasers up to 750mA for projecting full-HD ...

[Jens] decided he wanted to try building his own laser cutter to see just how much you can actually cut with a fairly low power 300mW laser diode. He was inspired by a similar project from earlier ...
