PCT No. PCT/GB93/01915 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 5, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 5, 1995 PCT Filed Sep. 10, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/08370 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 14, 1994The lasing output of a laser diode (1) is controlled by the current through the diode (1). The laser diode (1) is driven by a switched mode drive circuit in which a pulsed signal is applied to a smoothing circuit, typically including a capacitor C and an inductor L, arranged to provide a smoothed output voltage whose magnitude depends on the pulse width of the drive signal. |
