ATI is a company specializing in designing and releasing laser drivers, which can be used to driver laser diodes with high stability, low noise, and high power efficiency.  And there are many kinds of laser drivers. If you use laser diodes with high power or current, you can select the dual mode laser driver; if you need a laser driver with low noise, you can choose the ultra-low noise laser driver. In addition, when laser drivers and TEC controllers are used together, you can obtain high performance low cost diode laser modules. Figure 1 is the typical one of the dual mode laser drivers.

The LDA1-CP1 laser driver has a maximum output current 2A and current output noise: 0.05%. During normal operation, it generates little amount of heat, so there is no need of heat sinks. This laser driver comes with two separate input voltages to set and monitor the output current and laser power.
