The Design Challenge 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 ...

Figure 4 displays a standard quasi-cw Er:YAG laser pulse that has been generated via pumping with a 0.5 ms diode laser pulse at a 1000 Hz repetition rate. Figure 4. The quasi-cw laser output (lower ...
