Abstract
A device for generating a laser pulse. The device includes a laser diode that includes a first diode and a second diode, so that the laser diode includes a first anode, a second anode, and a cathode. The device further includes a first voltage potential that is electrically connected to the second anode, a second voltage potential that has a lower value than the first voltage potential, a first switch that is electrically connected to the first anode and to the second voltage potential, and a second switch that is electrically connected to the cathode and to the second voltage potential. A resistor is electrically connected to the first anode and to the second anode.
