Dear All..
I intend to use PWM circuit for driver laser diode from 5mw(2volts) increase to with PWM 10mw(6volts) or more but some people have told me it will reduce the lifespan of device So could you help me to know this advice is true or not
Many thank you.

You probably need to filter the PWM to get steady DC, and sense current through the LD as the main influence for controlling the mark space ratio.
