Claim 14:
15. A method, comprising:
charging, with a source, a plurality of sets of connecting elements by closing, for a first time interval, a switch to provide current through a first circuit path to the plurality of sets of connecting elements,
wherein a first set of connecting elements of the plurality of sets of connecting elements connects a first anode pad to an anode of an optical load,
wherein a second set of connecting elements of the plurality of sets of connecting elements connects a second anode pad to the anode of the optical load, the second anode pad being separate from the first anode pad, and
wherein the first circuit path is connected from the source to the switch and includes, in order:
the first anode pad,
the first set of connecting elements,
the second set of connecting elements, and
the second anode pad; and

driving the optical load by opening, for a second time interval after the first time interval, the switch to cause the first set of connecting elements to discharge through a second circuit path to provide an electrical pulse to the optical load,
wherein the second circuit path is connected from the source and to the optical load and includes, in order:
the first anode pad, and
the first set of connecting elements.
