Abstract
The invention concerns a method of operating a laser diode (2) producing a beam (9) whose intensity is controlled by a control signal and which is directed along a first beam path (10) at the target surface (5), stray reflections from the target surface (50 which are unstable with respect to the diode (2) in time and/or space acting on the diode (2). An element (19, 28, 31, 37, 38) which is stable in time and with respect to the diode (2) in space is used to feed part of the light emitted by the diode back along a second beam path (11) to the active zone (42) of the diode (2) so that the diode (2) is kept in a state of coherence collapse.
