Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :

  • LASER/LED LIGHT OUTPUT INTENSITY METER
    This circuit uses a large 1cm X 1cm silicon PIN photo diode and a transimpedance amplifier to measure the light power output of infrared and visible LEDs and laser diodes. It can be modified to produce almost any milliwatts to volts scale factor. It can be connected to either a multi-meter or an oscilloscope.

Laser Beam Printer LBP Controller Solution Card -  National Semiconductor Application Note.....[App Note]
Laser Communication System -  This is a simple Laser communication system. It can transmit and receive signal from any audio device.Communication distance is few meters. All components are not critical. Transistor 2N2222 may be on the coolrib. Laser diode is from laser pointer.....(electronic design added 6/07)
Laser communication via serial Port & more? -  Lately I have been daydreaming a lot in my laser communication course. Surfing around Google after class, I managed to find an article on sending serial port data over a laser link. The article is rather old (1997), but was published in a prominent Australian magazine.  This is way back when a good, red laser pointer was only $70.....

Laser simulator helps avoid destroyed diodes -  6-Jan-05 Issue of EDN  Laser diodes can destroy themselves in a few nanoseconds, so testing the response and stability of a feedback-stabilized laser-diode driver can be expensive. The simulator circuit in Figure 1 shows a typical laser-diode package, which contains not only the diode, which is driven by current IL, but also a photodiode.....

Laser transmitter/receiver (Aaron Cake) -  This set of two circuits from the basis for a very simple light wave transmitter. A LASER beam is modulated and then aimed at a receiver that demodulates the signal and then presents the information (voice, data, etc..). The whole thing is very easy to build and requires no specialized parts execpt for the LASER itself(electronic circuit added 7/03)
Laser Used as Vehicular Traffic Counter -  This is an illustration how a laser could be used to count traffic and measure the speed of each car passing through the sensor area..... [Designed by David A. Johnson]

Laser-Diode Driver Stabilizes Sensitivity Parameters -  11/05/98 EDN-Design Ideas.....The conventional advantages of lasers—coherence, monochromaticity, and extreme compactness—make laser diodes popular in most of their potential applications. Biomedical diagnostics and high-resolution-spectroscopy applications exploit laser diodes' wavelength tunability. These applications use the laser wavelength's sensitivity to drive current and operating temperature—0.025 nm..... [Design Idea by Anil Kumar Maini and Nita Sen, Defence Science Centre, Delhi, India]
