This paper mainly introduces a pulse power supply for high-power semiconductor laser diode arrays with a novel micro-current pre-start control method. According to the operating characteristics of the semiconductor laser, the output current of the pulse power supply is required to be smooth, stable, and without overshoot. In the method of normal direct pulse start control, semiconductor laser is damaged easily by the overshoot and oscillation of pulse current caused by the switching threshold voltage of MOSFET. And the time delay between the current reference signal and the output pulse current makes the design of closed loop more complicated. Based on the above problems, the method of micro-current pre-start control is proposed. The method is simple to operate and it can solve the nonlinear problem of MOSFET caused by the switching threshold voltage. Therefore, it solve the problems of time delay between the current reference signal and the output pulse current and the overshoot and oscillation of output pulse current in the rising process. A 25.6-kW prototype is intended for verifying the effectiveness of the micro-current pre-start control.
