Abstract:
A driver device for a laser includes a control device configured to generate a control current, an NPN differential amplifier connected to the control device and configured to superimpose a modulation current onto the control current to generate a combined current, and a laser activation switch coupled to the output of the NPN differential amplifier, the laser activation switch operating the laser utilizing the combined current. Also described herein is a communication system including a driver device.
