This optical damage can happen even with a momentary over-current. Therefore, it specifies the largest current that must not be exceeded even for a moment. In particular, please pay attention to excessive currents when a...See more on fscdn.rohm RP Photonics
Laser Diodes – semiconductor, gain, index guiding, high
Laser diodes are semiconductor lasers with a current-carrying p–n junction as the gain medium. They are the most important type of electrically pumped lasers.
