Abstract
A laser diode impulse circuit has a normally forward biased step recovery diode coupled to the output of a current pulse generating circuit. An inductor in parallel with a series combination of a pulse shaping network and a laser diode is coupled to the output of the step recovery diode. When the step recovery diode becomes reverse biased in response to a current pulse from the current pulse generating circuit, energy is stored in the inductor. The stored energy is then transferred from the inductor to the laser diode via the pulse shaping network to produce an optical pulse having a desired shape.
