Abstract
A semi-conductor laser device constant power output controller including a power input, a laser diode device consisted of a laser diode and a photoelectric diode, a current driver consisted of a first transistor and a second transistor, and an output control consisted of a zener diode and a variable resistor, whereby the electric current to the laser diode is controlled by the second transistor; the electric current to the second transistor is controlled by the first transistor; the photoelectric diode detects the laser beam of the laser diode for feedback reference; the zener diode and the variable resistor control the output power by means of controlling the electric current to the laser diode.
Claims1
A semi-conductor laser device constant power output controller comprising a power input, a laser diode device including a laser diode and a photoelectric diode, said laser diode being to produce a laser beam, said photoelectric diode being to detect the laser beam of said laser diode for feedback reference, a current driver including a first transistor and a second transistor, said first transistor providing a direct electric current to said second transistor, said second transistor controlling the electric current passing through said laser diode, and an output control including a zener diode and a variable resistor, wherein said zener diode and said variable resistor control the electric current to said laser diode so as to control a constant output power;
- said photoelectric diode is connected to the base of said first transistor to provide it with a feedback signal for compensating the electric current to said laser diode;
- said zener diode keeps the electric current free from the change of the input working voltage being supplied from said power input.
