    摘要: A pulsed laser diode driver includes a source capacitor that receives a refresh current at a first terminal and develops a source voltage therefrom. A first terminal of an inductor is connected to the first terminal of the source capacitor. A second terminal of the inductor is connected to an anode of a laser diode and a bypass capacitor. One or more switches are configured to control a current flow through the inductor. A timing and control circuit is configured to receive the source voltage and to generate one or more gate driver signals to control the switches to produce a high-current pulse through the laser diode. The high-current pulse corresponds to a peak current of a resonant waveform developed at the anode of the laser diode. A timing of the one or more gate driver signals is based on a voltage level of the source voltage.

    摘要: A laser device suppresses the variation of each time-lag so that a distortion of a combined laser output is suppressed. The laser device includes electric current control elements Q1, Q2 connected in series to a laser diode unit corresponding to respective laser diode units LD1, LD2, an electric current control circuit 11 that controls an electric current flow in the laser diode unit by adding a voltage to a control terminal of the electric current control element to turn on the electric current control element, and voltage adjustment circuits 12a, 12b corresponding to the laser diode unit adjusts, individually, every laser diode unit and the voltage that is added to the control terminal of the electric current control element when the laser diode is off.
