Abstract:A quasi-continuous-wave (QCW) laser diode (LD) driver is commonly used to drive diode bars and stacks designed specifically for QCW operations in solid-state lasers. Such drivers are optimized to deliver peak current and voltage pulses to LDs while maintaining low average power levels. As a result, they are widely used in laser processing devices and laser instruments. Traditional high-energy QCW LD drivers primarily use capacitors as energy storage components and pulsed constant-current sources with op-amps a… Show more
