Abstract

A high power driver system has a predetermined number of driver modules for driving a high power device such as a laser-emitting device. Each driver module has a driver circuit and a corresponding feedback circuit. The driver circuits respectively generate driving currents, and then the driving currents are collected to drive the high power laser-emitting device or other high power devices. In addition, these feedback circuits of the driver modules receive the same detection signal that represents the output power of the high power laser-emitting device. Then, each feedback circuit responds to the same detection signal to generate a feedback signal, respectively, which makes the corresponding driver circuit carry out a feedback action for adjusting the driving currents.
