In methods and devices for generating a laser pulse of an excitation laser that is actuated by a driver in response to a triggering time of a trigger signal, the driver actuation signal is generated taking into account the time interval between the triggering time and a preceding triggering time.

Methods for producing a laser pulse and devices for producing a driver control signal

A laser pulse generator includes a pulse shape generation device and a clock unit. The generation device includes a pulse shape repository, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a first terminal for connecting a start signal line, a second terminal for connecting a clock signal line, and a third terminal for connecting a pulse line. The first and second terminals are connected to the pulse shape repository and the DAC such that when a predefined start signal is present, data is transferred from the pulse shape repository to the DAC and converted by the DAC into an output pulse, for example, at a rate of a clock signal. The output pulse is supplied at the third terminal for actuating a driver of a laser diode. The clock unit is connected to the second terminal via the clock signal line and includes a reset terminal connected to the start signal line.
