    Where is the laser diode control panel

    On the front panel, the "Laser Diode Control" block has five buttons (see Figure 2. In CP mode a photodiode is required to sense the optical intensity. The block diagram in Figure 1 shows a very basic laser diode driver (or sometimes known as a laser diode power supply). Unlike LED light, a laser's light output is more concentrated, meaning it has a smaller and more narrow viewing angle. It is widely used in applications requiring precise and focused light beams.

  • Laser diodes are susceptible to static electricity

    Laser diodes are susceptible to static electricity

    Laser diodes are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge, excessive current levels, and current spikes (transients). If an excessive current flows in a laser diode, a large optical output is generated occur and the emitting facet may be damaged. This optical damage can happen even with a momentary over-current. There are devices you can retrofit to make your laser diode impervious to static. The main causes of undesirable surge energy are static electricity on the human body, shipping containers made of unsuitable materials, abnormal pulses generated from test equipment, and voltage. The release of such charges causes an instantaneous flow of electric current (“Electrostatic discharge (ESD)”).
