    Abstract: A laser diode control method and control system, and a laser device. The control method comprises: using a first driving voltage and a first duty cycle to drive a laser diode to start working; acquiring the working time of the laser diode; and when the working time of the laser diode exceeds a first time threshold, using a second driving voltage and a second duty cycle to drive the laser diode to work, wherein the second driving voltage is lower than the first driving voltage, and/or the second duty cycle is smaller than the first duty cycle, such that the power consumption in the working process of the laser diode can be effectively reduced, and an excessive high temperature of the laser diode during normal operation can be prevented.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an optoelectronic device having an epitaxial stack, an array of laser emitters, and a thermal sensor. The epitaxial stack includes a set of epitaxial layers. The array of laser emitters is formed in the set of epitaxial layers. The thermal sensor is coupled to the epitaxial stack at a location adjacent to a laser emitter of the array of laser emitters. The optoelectronic device further includes a controller configured to receive an output of the thermal sensor and determine a temperature at a junction between an active region and an inactive region in the laser emitter by in-situ measurements.

    Abstract: A high-efficiency laser pumping device is provided, wherein a dielectric with or without a tapered aperture is used to accept, guide, and concentrate a pump light toward a laser gain material. Preferably, the dielectric is also a heat insulator between the pump-light source and the laser gain material. The pump-light source includes an array of light-emitting diodes, or an array of laser diodes, or an array of mixed light-emitting-diodes and laser diodes. Preferably, the input and output faces of the dielectric are optically coated with dielectric layers to maximize the pump brightness toward the laser gain material. A high-efficiency laser-pumping system with active cooling apparatus is further provided, wherein a plural number of the optical-guiding and thermal-insulation dielectrics are arranged to receive the pump lights from a plural number of pump-light sources, configured to concentrate all the pump light toward a laser gain material.
