Many elements and parasitic “stray” components may affect the performance of the driver
unit. The stray inductance of the load connected to the driver is very important. The term
“load” not only includes the diode itself but also the packaging (bond wires!) and the
connection between the driver and the diode. However, PicoLAS has no influence on these
parts.
Refer to the PicoLAS Application Notes “Impedance of Diodes” and “LD-Connections”
for more information on parasitic elements and their effect on the pulse shape.
If you need different pad sizes for your laser diode, please do not hesitate to contact
us. Customized pad layouts are possible for adapting the dimensions of your load.
