The project describes the operation of a cheap keychain lasers that are being sold in low price. In theory, most common laser heads contains two semiconductors inside which includes a laser diode (LD) ...

[Les] from [Les’ Lab] has designed a driver for laser diodes up to 10 watts, and decided to show us how it operates, tells us what we should keep in mind when designing such a driver, and talks about ...

This application note presents a new architecture of powering laser drivers using digital resistors. It discusses the properties of digital resistors and its effect when it is connected on a standard ...

I'm back with the third part to my laser weapon series (see part one and two), and I'll be explaining the function, application, and potential of semiconductor lasers, aka laser diodes. Surely, most ...

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) introduces the first of a new gallium nitride (GaN) integrated circuit (IC) product family offering higher performance and smaller solution size for time-of-flight ...

The new laser diode driver iC-HTP permits microcontroller-based driving of laser diodes with common cathodes or P-type laser diodes in CW mode (Continuous Wave). With this device either Automatic ...

LASER COMPONENTS has established long term supply partnerships with several of the world’s leading laser diode and laser diode driver suppliers. We work closely with our partners to offer a ...

EPC has introduced a laser driver that integrates a 40 V, 10 A FET with integrated gate driver and 3.3 logic level input in a single chip for time-of-flight lidar systems used in robotics, ...

Three years ago I bought a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet II printer. I plugged it in and put it to work, and it has been turning out beautiful documents ever since. It’s the best piece of computer ...

If you’ve got a lot of spare parts lying around, you may be able to cobble together your own laser engraver without too much trouble. We’ve already seen small engraver builds that use an Arduino, but ...
