  • Voltage Requirements for Laser Diodes

    Voltage Requirements for Laser Diodes

    Voltage ranges differ by wavelength e. green laser diodes tend to be higher than blue and UV, and infrared tend to be lower than red. As mentioned above, green diodes are anomalous with voltages. It is important to understand the voltage requirements of the laser diode to ensure that the drive electronics are capable of controlling it properly. For instance, one very critical parameter is the reverse voltage that a laser diode can tolerate. VCSEL laser diodes (Figure 3) can be fabricated in 2-D arrays for use in optical computing, printing and communications.
