Abstract

Laser power control arrangements interrupt power to a laser used in electro-optical readers upon detection of operating conditions not conforming to preestablished standards, and adjust power to enhance reader performance without violating prevalent safety standards. Dual monitors are used to independently monitor the output power of the laser.
