Abstract

The present disclosure includes a method for driving a laser system, wherein the laser system includes: at least one laser diode arranged for light emission; an electronic circuit configured for driving the laser diode by applying an electric drive current; and a power sensor arrangement including at least one power sensor for measuring an optical power output, wherein the method includes: applying and maintaining the electric drive current to the at least one laser diode at a setpoint; determining measurement values of a current optical power output by the power sensor arrangement; comparing the measurement values of the current optical power output with a target optical power output; and adjusting and maintaining the electric drive current at a new setpoint when an absolute value of a difference between the target optical power output and the current optical power output crosses a threshold.
