I am trying to make a voltage driven, modulated current laser driver, with frequency of 300MHz or more, that can vary the laser diode supply current 100mA peak-to-peak.
So far I succeeded "reaching" f = 30MHz, but current modulation was only approx. 20mA. I was driving it from DDS AD9850 frequency generator (limited to 70MHz), that produces sinusoidal signal 1 Vp-p. I used BC548C transistor, with f
T= 300MHz and Ic<= 100mA.
My circuit was redesign of this one:

Can you please throw in some ideas of how to achieve this?
