LED driver for laser diode

[a12b34c56]

Hi,
I want to drive a strip of 15 650 nm LDs (3V, 40ma) with 48V switching power supply. I intend to use constant current LED diver NSI45035JZ. https://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/NSI45035JZ-D.PDF. I’ve got the driver but my scope has a pretty low bandwidth( 0- 200kHz) so I would not be able to see a turn on voltage spikes if there are any. Will it be safe to put 0.1 µF electrolytic capacitor in parallel with the load to account for potential spikes or I need more sophisticated circuit?

Hi, Not a good idea, go to DTR for the correct drivers for your diodes. Led drivers are NOT for diode regulated currents . Go cheap and go home..
