We show a fast settling digital laser controller with pulse width modulation (PWM) current drive output. By using self learning feed forward and delayed proportional integral and differential (PID) feedback control, the drive current settles faster than the digital control loop execution time. The feed forward model is updated based on parameters learned from stable feedback operation. Pulse modulation settling time and stable high efficient CW operation is made possible with this approach. The laser diode controller is well suited for pulse modulation or electrical gating of high power laser diodes due to its high efficiency and over dampened settling.
