Circuit Provides Laser Diode Control:  09/19/02 EDN Design Ideas  /  (added 1/05)  Laser diodes are sensitive to ESD, rapid turn-on currents, and overvoltage conditions. To address those problems, the simple laser-diode controller in Figure 1 has several functions. The first part of the circuit comprises an 8.2V zener diode, D1 that forms the heart of a constant-voltage source for the laser diode....

Current Sources for Fiber Optic Lasers:  AN90 Linear Technology A large group of fiber optic lasers are powered by DC current. Laser drive is supplied by a current source with modulation added to the signal. The current source, although conceptually simple, constitutes an extraordinarily tricky design problem. There are a number of practical requirements for a fiber optic current source and failure to consider them can cause laser and/or optical component destruction. This application note describes ten laser current source circuits with a range of capabilities. High and low current types are presented, along with designs for grounded anode, cathode or floating operation. Each circuit also includes laser protection features. Appended sections cover laser load simulation and current source noise measurement techniques.
