How Do You Protect a Laser Diode? To protect a laser diode, primarily focus on preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage and current surges, along with managing temperature. If an excessive current flows in a laser diode, a large optical output is generated occur and the emitting facet may be damaged. A slight voltage drift or ripple, harmless to other components, can instantly push the current past its absolute maximum rating. It is said that there are two types of researchers—those who have destroyed laser.
