Download or read book Powering Laser Diode Systems written by Grigoriy A. Trestman and published by SPIE-International Society for Optical Engineering. This book was released on 2017 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Tutorial Text discusses the competent design and skilled use of laser diode drivers (LDDs) and power supplies (PSs) for the electrical components of laser diode systems. It is intended to help power-electronic design engineers during the initial design stages: the choice of the best PS topology, the calculation of parameters and components of the PS circuit, and the computer simulation of the circuit. Readers who use laser diode systems for research, production, and other purposes will also benefit. The book will help readers avoid errors when creating laser systems from ready-made blocks, as well as understand the nature of the """"mystical failures"""" of laser diodes (and possibly prevent them).
