A power control method for a laser system comprising laser diodes arranged in diode banks is provided. Each diode bank comprises at least one of the laser diodes and has a maximum power. The method comprises operating a first diode bank of the diode banks to output a first power; and concurrently operating other of the diode banks to output other powers, at least one of the other powers being different than the first power.

Laser system and method of tuning the output power of the laser system

A light source including a laser diode, and a method of operating a light source including a laser diode are disclosed. A driving current of the laser diode is dithered to cause a near-field light intensity distribution at an end facet to be perturbed, thereby reducing a time-averaged local intensity of the laser light at the end facet of the laser diode. The reduced time-averaged intensity reduces a possibility of a damage of the end facet.
