Apparatus for amplitude modulating the output of a laser diode or L.E.D

The output of a laser diode or L.E.D. is amplitude modulated by varying the forward current through it. This is done by applying a dc current component from a first current source and an ac current component from another part of the circuit. The ac current component is applied to the laser diode or...

description The output of a laser diode or L.E.D. is amplitude modulated by varying the forward current through it. This is done by applying a dc current component from a first current source and an ac current component from another part of the circuit. The ac current component is applied to the laser diode or L.E.D. via an ideal impedance matching transformer which includes the internal capacitance of the laser diode or L.E.D, such that when the frequency of the modulating signal is varied, and hence the response of the laser diode or L.E.D varies, ideal matching is still obtained since the internal capacitance enables compensation to be made.
