This paper formally shows that an exponentially rising current is optimal in
terms of resistive ohmic loss for driving a semiconductor laser into the
gain-switching mode. A metric to quantify the quality of laser operation that
measures the similarity of a generated optical pulse to the delta function is
proposed. Several circuit implementations to approximate exponentially rising
current are developed, including using a driver circuit with BJT output stage,
a network of RLC circuits, and a saturating inductor. An experimental
comparison between a state-of-the-art sinewave resonant driver circuit and a
directly driven laser is performed that favors the latest variant of the
driver.
