Diode lasertransmitter with burst control.

摘要

A laser diode transmitter for optical signal transmission provides signals in a burst form as pulse 'packets' that are subject to a regulation process. The bias current of the laser diode is switched on for a brief period before the commencement of the signal burst. The modulation current of the diode increases as a function of a time versus linearly changing voltage until a predetermined maximum power is achieved. The bias current of the laser diode is varied in proportion to the current.
