A controller for an optical power source such as a laser diode which detects environmental conditions and adjusts an input control signal to force the correct output power. The controller learns a specific optical sub-system's output characteristics according to environmental parameters measured by the sub-system's own sensors, and then controls the control input by calculating a very precise approximation from that knowledge. Optionally, the controller could monitor the actual output power, making adjustments to its knowledge as necessary. This would compensate for any time drift in the characteristics of the sub-system. Finally, the controller can detect when the sub-system starts to fail by monitoring how its output power characteristics change with time.
