Solder laser diodes to PCB to prevent ESD
ESD can easily damage diode lasers, decreasing performance immediately or over time. Work on a grounded workbench or surface with anti-static floors and a case ground. Use grounded tweezers and. Successfully protecting a system against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is largely dependent on the printed circuit board (PCB) design. It is said that there are two types of researchers—those who have destroyed laser. This application note describes precautions in the use of laser diodes. Usually, during transport and usage it either has a metal bar bridging anode and cathode or has to be connected to the power supply to prevent charge buildup. Static electricity generated by non-conductive materials—like plastic packaging or even the human body—can reach up to 50,000 volts.
