"This Tutorial Text discusses the competent design and skilled use of laser diode drivers (LDDs) and power supplies (PSs) for the electrical components of laser diode systems. It is intended to help power-electronic design engineers during the initial design stages: the choice of the best PS topology, the calculation of parameters and components of the PS circuit, and the computer simulation of the circuit. Readers who use laser diode systems for research, production, and other purposes will also benefit. The book will help readers avoid errors when creating laser systems from ready-made blocks, as well as understand the nature of the "mystical failures" of laser diodes (and possibly prevent them)"--
In a textbook style but without a lot of strict technicalities, Trestman explains the design and skilled use of laser diode drivers and power supplies for the electrical components of laser diode systems. His goal is to help power-electronic design engineers, during the initial design stages, choose the best power supply topology, calculate parameters and components of the power supply circuit, and simulate the circuit on computers. Readers who use laser diode systems for research, production, and other purposes could also benefit from the material, he says. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
