LASER DIODE BAR PROVIDED WITH A PARALLEL CONNECTED DIODE FOR BRIDGING SAID LASER DIODE BAR IN CASE OF FAILURE

摘要

The invention relates a laser diode component comprising a heat sink (3), a contact (6) and laser diode bar (1) supplied with a determined operating voltage during the operation thereof and to which a bridging element (2) is connected in parallel. Said bridging element is in a state of equilibrium at a determined operating voltage supplied to said laser diode bar and is switched into a conductive state when the voltage supplied to the bar exceeds the operational voltage by a given voltage value. An electronic circuit provided with a plurality of similar series connected diode laser components is also disclosed.
