To protect electronics, try an ESD absorber

“Lasorb在Pangolin激光系统总裁威廉·贝纳表示，威廉·贝纳表示“ESD是激光二极管，尤其是蓝光激光二极管和低功耗单模红色激光二极管的众所周知的问题。单一适度的ESD事件可能会导致永久性损坏，导致部分或完整的二极管故障经常在制造商额定预期寿期之前长时间失效，并且ESD是许多故障的疑似原因。“

Benner said LASORB also protects against reverse bias conditions. While Schottky diodes are typically used for this purpose, Benner said using LASORB in their place offered protection against both ESD and reverse biasing.

该公司目前正在生产两串LASARB，一个用于红色和红外二极管，为蓝光二极管提供一秒钟。部件封装紧凑（高8.9毫米x 10.4 mm长x 3.8 mm厚），并安装在2引脚，通孔配置中。自定义包可用，也可以提供SMT版本。

Said Benner, “Previous solutions for ESD often fail in some respect to protect laser diodes. They are either too slow to respond, ineffective in the required voltage range, or incapable of absorbing the energy of a voltage surge. LASORB protects against ESD as well as from power surges caused by turning equipment on and off. It protects against reverse bias.”

You can view a video demonstrating the component’s capabilities at www.lasorb.com, as well as obtain detailed product information and datasheets, background on laser diodes and ESD, a review of the limitations of previous ESD solutions in laser diodes applications, and links to other resources.

The company has produced two videos demonstrating the effects of ESD on laser diodes, including Blu-ray diodes, and the effectiveness of LASORB in protecting them. The videos can be seen on the LASORB website (http://www.lasorb.com/11_videos.htm) or on YouTube: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bvoc81zstm.和http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bow7pL4n3Ak).
