Methods for driving optical loads and driver circuits for optical loads

A driver circuit, for generating narrow electrical pulses of high repetition rate with high peak current and low after pulse ringing to drive an optical load, may include a source, a first circuit path, and a second circuit path. The first circuit path may be connected to the source and may include inductive elements and a switch. The switch being in a closed state may charge current in the inductive elements through the first circuit path. The second circuit path may connect to the optical load and may be connected to the source. The second circuit path may include the inductive elements anda capacitive element in series with the optical load. The switch transitioning from the closed state to an open state may discharge current from the inductive elements through the second circuit pathto provide an electrical pulse to the optical load. 一种用于产生具有高峰值电流和低脉冲振铃后的高重复率的窄电脉冲以驱动光负载的驱动电路，可以包括电源、第一电路路径和第二电路路径。第一电路路径可以连接到电源，并且可以包括电感元件和开关。处于闭合状态的开关可以通过第一电路路径而在电感元件中充入电流。第二电路路径可以连接到光负载，并且可以连接到电源。第二电路路径可以包括与光负载串联的电感元件和电容元件。
