In order to drive laser diodes, our company (ATI) has designed and produced an electric module, which is also called
laser driver. And laser drivers released from our company features high stability, high efficiency, low noise and small size. There are many series laser drivers available and Figure 1 is the photo of a typical one.

By using a laser driver, many functions can be realized, such as laser current setting and monitoring, controlling loop good indication, switching working mode automatically and so on. Because of high efficiency, no heat sink is needed for normal operation. Moreover, the driver is packaged in a metal enclosure, so there is no interference.
By the way, our company has also designed a load assembly to emulate laser diodes for evaluating laser drivers. In this way, the cost can be reduced.
