Abstract

A resonant driving circuit for a laser diode comprises an impulse generator for generating narrow output pulses, a delay line for generating a composite output of reflections of the output pulses from terminations of the transmission line, a laser diode for generating an optical output from the composite output, and a forward bias network to bias the laser diode.
