  • Patent number: 11581693
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a pulsed laser driver that utilizes a high-voltage switch transistor to support a high output voltage for a laser, and a low-voltage switch transistor that switches between an ON state and an OFF state to generate a pulsed current that is supplied to the laser to generate an output pulsed laser signal. The pulsed laser driver switches the low-voltage switch transistor between the ON state and the OFF state according to an input pulsed signal such that the output pulsed laser signal is modulated according to the input pulsed signal. The pulsed laser driver also utilizes a feedback control module to control the gate terminal voltage of the high-voltage switch transistor to improve the precision of the output pulsed laser signal.
