How to modulate the waveform of a laser diode

Modulating the output power of a laser diode can happen in two ways: by changing the signal input/driving current1,2 or by alternating the continuous wave output after the light is generated. 2 In laser modulation, the current or voltage varies with time to modulate the output signal from the laser. Much of what will be discussed will be in general terms...
