Current limiting is a basic block element of any power supply. Many electronic devices are powered almost 100% of the time and are usually unattended, and therefore safety methods like current limit devices are essential to protect and improve the good performance of the equipment. In this sense, current protection is even more important in space applications, not only because of the criticality of the missions and the unavailability of repair but also because the possibility of Single Event Latch-up

High brightness semiconductor lasers are potential transmitters for future space lidar systems. In the framework of the European Project BRITESPACE, we propose an all semiconductor laser source for an Integrated Path Differential Absorption lidar system for column-averaged measurements of atmospheric CO2 in future satellite missions.
