In low power laser diode modules the designer has the option to use the classical discrete solution or take advantage of fully integrated driver ICs. Often the component cost is the only driving ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

Range finders are used for a wide range of tasks, from measuring the distance to an object a few feet away to the distance between the moon and the earth. They work by sending a group of energy pulses ...

Touted as the market's lowest-power laser diode driver, the MAX3930 is designed to directly modulate laser diodes at data rates up to 10.7 Gb/s while drawing only 108 mA from a single +5V or -5.2V ...

MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SiliconCore Technology, a leading fabless analog products company, today announced that the US Patent Office has approved its patent application for “Higher ...

LASER COMPONENTS has established long term supply partnerships with several of the world’s leading laser diode and laser diode driver suppliers. We work closely with our partners to offer a ...

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) introduces the first of a new gallium nitride (GaN) integrated circuit (IC) product family offering higher performance and smaller solution size for time-of-flight ...

Collaborators on a European project to develop a handheld photoacoustic (PA) imaging probe for early diagnosis of diseases including skin cancer and rheumatoid arthritis are gearing up for clinical ...

A while ago, [Marco] mounted a powerful laser diode to a CNC machine in an attempt to etch copper clad board and create a few PCBs. The results weren’t that great, but the technique was promising. In ...
