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) ...

[Les] from [Les’ Lab] has designed a driver for laser diodes up to 10 watts, and decided to show us how it operates, tells us what we should keep in mind when designing such a driver, and talks about ...

In low power laser diode modules the designer has the option to use the classical discrete solution or take advantage of fully integrated driver ICs. Often the component cost is the only driving ...

FORT COLLINS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ IXYS), a leader in power semiconductors for power conversion and motion control applications, announced today that its Colorado division ...

MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SiliconCore Technology, a leading fabless analog products company, today announced that the US Patent Office has approved its patent application for “Higher ...

Anyone who has just spent several thousand pounds on a semiconductor laser diode should think twice before simply connecting it to a conventional laboratory power supply. To avoid damaging your laser ...

IXYS Corporation announced the introduction of the Development Kit for its PIM-Mini compact and lightweight laser diode driver by its IXYS Colorado division. IXYS Corp. announced the introduction of ...

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 ...

The resistor and 10 uF capacitor are already forming a low-pass filter, which should prevent any spikes in either current/voltage. I don't know much about laser diodes though, so I am not sure what ...

The RN5C750 and RN5C752 are four-channel laser drivers that have been developed for use in RGB or RGGB laser scanning type screens. The 750 offers 1080p resolution and 60 fps image thanks to a fast ...

A single laser-diode driver from Elantec Semiconductor directly drives both CD and DVD lasers, simplifying the task of combining these optical drives in a single system. Elantec's patented EL629XC ...

The new laser diode driver iC-HTP permits microcontroller-based driving of laser diodes with common cathodes or P-type laser diodes in CW mode (Continuous Wave). With this device either Automatic ...
