Laser diodes are used in fiber-optical telecommunication systems as transmitter lasers for sending signals, pump lasers for erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA), and semiconductor optical amplifiers ...

This application note first briefly discusses the basic operation theory of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and its application in optical modules. Then it presents a digital approach to TEC control ...

Precision-programmed devices for management of thermoelectric coolers with bi-directional (heating and cooling) PID regulation. TEC Built-in diagnostics (Z-Metery) and PID auto-tuning are implemented.

AMI's Model 766 short pulse seed laser diode driver is ideal for driving 14-pin butterfly packaged laser diode modules for applications which require pulse widths less than 1ns. Applications include ...
