The Customer
A world-famous manufacturer of fiber optic transceivers, delivering the highest quality of transceivers
The Application
Laser diodes for fiber-optic communication
The Challenge
Laser diodes are extremely sensitive to temperature and spikes: the temperature must stay stable for consistent burn-in, and the driving current should be free of spikes to prevent any latent damage.
