How to increase the power of laser diodes
Modulating the output power of a laser diode can happen in two ways: by changing the signal input/driving current1,2 or by alternating the continuous wave output after the light is generated. 2 In laser modulation, the current or voltage varies with time to modulate the output. Although I didn't find anything that exactly matching my specifications, I did find this from Thorlabs and this from Roithner Lasertechnik.
