Laser Drivers

Laser drivers, often called laser diode controllers, are specialised electronic circuits designed to power and precisely control the current supplied to laser diodes. These power management ICs (PMICs) are significant in regulating the current supplied to laser diodes, which are highly sensitive to variations in current. A laser driver ensures stable and efficient operation by providing a constant current source, protecting the laser diode from damage due to overcurrent or voltage spikes, and enabling modulation of the laser output for various applications.

Why Buy a Laser Driver?

Laser diodes are highly sensitive to variations in current and voltage. Without a proper driver, they can easily be damaged or their performance compromised. Laser drivers offer several key benefits, such as robust protection against voltage surges and overcurrents, stability, precise control, and modulation of the laser’s output.
