Diode driver for controlling one or multiple laser diodes, has input to connect voltage source, and inductor which is arranged between input for voltage source and another input of one or multiple laser diodes
摘要
<p>The diode driver has an input (2) to connect a voltage source and an inductor (4) which is arranged between the input for the voltage source and another input (18) of one or multiple laser diodes. A longitudinal switch (3) is provided to charge the inductor which is arranged in series with the inductor. A discharge switch (6) is also provided in the diode driver. A security- longitudinal switch (16) is arranged in series with the longitudinal switch to ensure a safe, fast shutdown of the laser diode.</p>
