    Abstract: A lighting circuit comprises a current driver circuit and a series connection of at least two laser diodes, supplied with current from the current driver circuit. A current shunt circuit is in parallel with each laser diode for diverting a shunt current away from the respective laser diode. The level of the shunt currents is controlled during a start-up period of time of the current driver circuit in order to control the rate of change of voltage across selected laser diodes during said start-up period of time.

    Abstract: A pulsed laser diode driver includes an inductor having a first terminal configured to receive a source voltage. A source capacitor has a first terminal connected to the first terminal of the inductor to provide the source voltage. A bypass switch has a drain node connected to a second terminal of the inductor and to a first terminal of a bypass capacitor. A laser diode has an anode connected to the second terminal of the inductor and to the drain node of the bypass switch. A laser diode switch has a drain node connected to a cathode of the laser diode. The laser diode switch and the bypass switch control a current flow through the inductor to produce a high-current pulse through the laser diode, the high-current pulse corresponding to a peak current of a resonant waveform developed at the anode of the laser diode.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of optical particle sensing and in particular to a method of controlling an optical output power of a laser diode (10). A method of controlling an optical output power of a laser diode (10) is presented, wherein the laser diode is associated with a photodiode (20), wherein the photodiode converts light received from the laser diode into an electrical photodiode current; the method comprising the steps of: obtaining first optical trimming parameters indicative of a first optical output power of the laser diode (10) at a first laser diode current and a second optical output power of the laser diode at a second laser diode current different from the first laser diode current, above lasing threshold under predetermined calibration conditions; obtaining second electrical trimming parameters indicative of a photodiode characteristic curve of photodiode current versus laser diode current under the predetermined calibration conditions; measuring a first photodiode current at a third laser diode current below lasing threshold; measuring a second photodiode current at a fourth laser diode current different from the third laser diode current below lasing threshold; determining a slope of a photodiode current versus laser diode current based on said measurement of the first photodiode current and said second photodiode current below lasing threshold; controlling the optical output power of the laser diode (10) above lasing threshold based on the first optical trimming parameters, the second electrical trimming parameters and the slope of the photodiode current versus laser diode current below lasing threshold.
