  • Laser driver pulse shaping control
    Patent number: 11444432
    Abstract: Time-of-flight (ToF) systems which use pulsed laser diodes, are required to measure distances with high level of precision and control. The present disclosure provides a method and a corresponding system for controlling a temporal response of a laser diode, in particular pulsed laser diodes. In particular, the present disclosure provides a method and a related system for driving a laser diode so as to obtain predominantly a peak pulse response while minimising or completely avoiding the post-peak response in a temporal response of the laser diode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2022
    Assignee: Analog Devices International Unlimited Company
