Data diodes are a humble-looking piece of tech, but they are much more important than their appearance might convey. Slowly ...

See this diagram,I've been told the the proprietary drivers offer some extra protection from very short spikes (on power up and shutdown) in the current which laser diodes are very sensitive to ...

Customers worldwide have been drawn to unidirectional gateways/data diodes that distribute data throughout the critical infrastructure sector. Therefore, the Critical Infrastructure segment would ...

Simple Measurement of Laser Diodes and Laser Modules: 28 Apr 2006. ... The data can be easily read on the display or via an RS232 interface. This measuring device is mostly used for the (automatic) ...

A data diode is a physical device that ensures data can only flow one way: either in or out, but never both, i.e., unidirectional. This prevents hackers from accessing systems through the connection.

The value of R1 is determined by the maximum laser current required (in this case, 250 mA), adjusted by the laser diode's typical forward voltage of 2.0 V as given on the datasheet. Solving for R1 ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical ...
