Thanks for the answer
So if my current driver has a compliance voltage of 3V at 200 mA, then it means that it only works for diode lasers of 3 V or less? Or is the compliance voltage not related to the voltage drop of the diode laser?
Edit: ignore the question. Already found out
Hi,
I am working on a current and temperature controller for low power diode lasers (<200 mA), and I need to make a test load to simulate them. I found some information and it seems the general idea is to use a resistor of known value (like 1 Ohm), and some diodes. Then you measure the voltage...
