Claim 15:
16. The system of claim 15, wherein the bleed resistor circuit comprises a transistor, a first bleed resistor, and a second bleed resistor, the transistor having a gate, a source, and a drain, wherein the gate functions as the control input, the source coupled to the first voltage source, the drain coupled to a first contact of a first resistor, wherein a second contact of the first resistor is coupled to the anode of the laser diode, the second contact of the first resistor is also coupled to a first contact of a second resistor, wherein a second contact of the second resistor is coupled to the voltage source supply, wherein the first resistor and the second resistor have resistance values for controlling the bleed current through the laser diode to a predetermined current range when the control signal is activated by the overvoltage detector circuit.
