Our new APC laser diodes are probably the smallest cw laser diode modules in the world. They are well suited as an alternative to the normal laser diodes in laser pointers, pilot lasers, measuring ...

“automatic power control” (APC) will shut down the laser once a specific operating current is exceeded. The A4 laser diodes are insensitive to electrostatic discharges of up to 10kV and a stable ...

San Jose, Calif.—Micrel Inc. has launched a 2.5-Gbit/s laser diode driver (LDD) with integrated Automatic Power Control (APC) and a power monitoring feature to keep average optical power constant ...

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 the only driving ...
