摘要:
A laser diode (LD) driver to suppress the excess emission of an LD is disclosed. The LD driver has the shunt configuration with a driving transistor connected in parallel to the LD to shunt the bias current provided to the LD. The driver further provides a protection circuit to divide the bias current when the bias current is active but the driving transistor is turned off at an instant of the power on and off of the LD driver.

A shunt driver for driving an LD is disclosed. The shunt driver has the push-pull arrangement with the high side driver and the low side driver. The high side driver is driven by a positive phase signal superposed with a negative phase signal with a delay and a less amplitude with respect to the positive phase signal. The low side driver is driven by a negative phase signal superposed with a positive signal with a delay and a less amplitude compared to the positive phases signal. Adjusting the magnitude of the superposed signals, the driving current for the LD has the peaking in the rising and falling edges thereof.

A differential circuit with a function to compensate the gain enhancement due to the self-heating of the transistor is disclosed. The differential circuit includes an equalizer unit coupled with one of paired transistors. The other of the paired transistor receives the input signal to be amplified. The base level, or the base-emitter bias, is oppositely modulated by the input signal through the common emitter, which causes the modification of the base current. The equalizer unit reduces the variation of the base level only in low frequencies where the self-heating effect of the transistor appears.

A shunt driver for driving an LD is disclosed. The shunt driver has the push-pull architecture with the high side driver and the low side driver. The high side driver is driven by a positive phase signal superposed with a signal with a phase opposite to the negative phase signal. The low side driver is driven by a negative phase signal superposed with a signal with a phase opposite to the positive phase signal. Adjusting the magnitude of the superposed signals, the driving current for the LD has the peaking in the rising and falling edges thereof.
