Interfacing laser driver circuits with commercially available laser diodes at high data rates can be a complicated and frustrating task. This application note is intended to briefly address this topic ...

[Jens] decided he wanted to try building his own laser cutter to see just how much you can actually cut with a fairly low power 300mW laser diode. He was inspired by a similar project from earlier ...

Incorporating a USB interface with bundled application software and LabView drivers, the 500B Series laser diode drivers are useful for a wide range of diode laser development and QA tasks, including ...

Anyone who has just spent several thousand pounds on a semiconductor laser diode should think twice before simply connecting it to a conventional laboratory power supply. To avoid damaging your laser ...

The RN5C750 and RN5C752 are four-channel laser drivers that have been developed for use in RGB or RGGB laser scanning type screens. The 750 offers 1080p resolution and 60 fps image thanks to a fast ...

Here at Hackaday we’ve covered a bunch of DIY laser diode projects. And for good reason, they are just cool. We’ve seen people add lasers to their 3D printers, stick one in a milling machine, use a ...

The increase in laser-diode sales has had a knock-on effect on activity in the diode-driver market. Neil Savage gives an update of the latest products on offer. Trends in laser-diode drivers, ...
