This application relates to a laser assembly displaying self-heating mitigation. The laser assembly comprises a semiconductor laser and a drive unit for driving the semiconductor laser. The semiconductor laser comprises: a first semiconductor region for generating or modulating an optical signal in response to a first drive current that is applied to the first semiconductor region, and a second semiconductor region that is arranged in proximity to the first semiconductor region and electrically insulated from the first semiconductor region. The drive unit Is configured to generate the first drive current and a second drive current, apply the first drive current to the first semiconductor region during respective transmission periods of the semiconductor laser, and apply the second drive current to the second semiconductor region in intervals between successive transmission periods. The application further relates to a method for driving a semiconductor laser. |
