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 ...

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 ...

GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KYOCERA SLD Laser, Inc. (KSLD), a world leader in commercialization of laser light sources, is introducing its new high power 5 watt blue laser diode products for ...

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).

Thanks to a Moore’s law rate of improvement in the bang-per-buck of GaAs diode lasers, cleaning and heating join a growing ...

Read the article to find out how commonly lasers are used in different applications. Laser technology is commonly used in a wide range of industrial and medical equipment, but also in devices found in ...

ProTek Devices has introduced an ultra-low capacitance steering diode array that provides circuit protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT), and secondary ...

Called DZDH0401DW, it is designed to work with a p-channel mosfet in the high-side rail in systems up to 40V. It might better be described as a ‘nearly ideal diode controller’ as it draws some current ...
