Abstract
A pulse emitting laser is constantly controlled while recording data continuously to a desired power level without using test emissions or a high speed sample hold filter. The laser drive method detects beam emission power from a light source and generates a monitor wave; receives data and generates an expected wave for the beam power based on the received data; calculates the difference between the generated monitor wave and the expected wave; controls current flow from the bias current source based on the calculated waveform difference; and finally emits a beam from the light source based on the controlled current flow of the bias current source.
