Abstract :
A CMOS laser driver IC combines two 500 MHz 250 mA driver DACs with on-board digital write strategy generator and PLL to achieve 2 ns timing resolution. An embedded laser power control algorithm with analog monitor diode pre-processing compensates for laser temperature variations and aging.
