Laser Diode Drivers
Did You Know?
Laser diode drivers do far more than simply supply current. Because laser diodes are extremely sensitive to current fluctuations, high-quality drivers provide ultra-low noise, precise current control, and fast modulation capabilities to protect the diode and stabilize output power. Many include soft-start protection to prevent damaging current spikes, as well as temperature control interfaces for thermoelectric coolers (TECs) to maintain wavelength stability. In applications like spectroscopy, LiDAR, and optical communications, driver noise and stability directly impact system performance. Choosing the right laser diode driver can significantly extend diode lifetime and improve measurement accuracy.
