Many existing and emerging applications for Edge-Emitting Pulsed Laser Diodes (hereafter referred to as simply PLDs) require operation of the devices with narrow pulse widths. These conditions may be necessary for ensuring eye-safe system certification or precision in distance measurement systems. Short pulses also allow for reliable higher peak power operation of the devices. There are multiple challenges in generating short pulses with PLDs which will be discussed below.
