Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus and method for laser diode calibration. A laser irradiation apparatus is provided. For example, a laser irradiation apparatus includes: a laser diode having an anode and a cathode; a photodiode having an anode and a cathode connected to the cathode of the laser diode; a laser diode driver having a voltage output connected to the anode of the laser diode and a feedback input connected to the anode of the photodiode; and a variable resistor having a selectable resistance value connected between the anode of the photodiode and the ground. The selectable resistance value is selected to maintain a reference voltage on the anode of the photodiode to reverse bias the photodiode.
