The project describes the operation of a cheap keychain lasers that are being sold in low price. In theory, most common laser heads contains two semiconductors inside which includes a laser diode (LD) ...

This application note presents a new architecture of powering laser drivers using digital resistors. It discusses the properties of digital resistors and its effect when it is connected on a standard ...

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) introduces the first of a new gallium nitride (GaN) integrated circuit (IC) product family offering higher performance and smaller solution size for time-of-flight ...

If there’s one lesson to be learned from [Aled Cuda]’s pulsed laser driver, it’s that you can treat the current limits on electronic components as a suggestion if the current duration is measured in ...

Silanna Semiconductor has created a laser driver IC that can squeeze a 400W quad EEL (edge-emitting laser) module into 80mm2. SL2001 comes in a 14ball 1 x 3.5mm WLCSP (wafer-level chip-scale package) ...

If there’s one lesson to be learned from [Aled Cuda]’s pulsed laser driver, it’s that you can treat the current limits on electronic components as a suggestion if the current duration is measured in ...

iC-Haus’ new iC-HT driver permits microcontroller-based activation of laser diodes in CW mode. Laser diodes can be driven by either the optical output power (using APC), the laser diode current (using ...

I'm back with the third part to my laser weapon series (see part one and two), and I'll be explaining the function, application, and potential of semiconductor lasers, aka laser diodes. Surely, most ...
