Laser Diode Waveform Modulation Methods

Home / Laser Diode Waveform Modulation Methods

Modulating the output power of a laser diode can happen in two ways: by changing the signal input/driving current1,2 or by alternating the continuous wave output after the light is generated. 2 In laser modulation, the current or voltage varies with time to modulate the output signal from the laser. techniques 8 andwere 9d cribed formo ulating the light of semiconductor laser electro-optic by using or acousto-optic external modula tors.
