Standard and customized integrated circuits
Laser applications are becoming more and more popular, not only in industry, but also in consumer electronics. A critical point however is how to drive the laser.
Often you
... have very limited space available
... have to protect your laser diode against spikes
... want to save money
... are looking for a stable output power control
... need excellent reliability and performance
So why don‘t use a small cost efficient laser IC for operating conditions like open loop, continuous wave, averaging or peak control?
