Abstract
A hand held bar code reader employs a laser diode as its laser source, for an efficient and compact construction. The diode is modulated, and an associated bar code reading detector is timed accordingly, so that (1) the effects of strong ambient light which may be present on the bar code surface can be subtracted out, by alternating reflected light readings of the detector between laser beam plus ambient and ambient alone, and subtracting the readings electronically, and (2) peak power can be increased to obtain more dependable readings while staying within permissible power levels for such devices, since average power is reduced by the modulation of the laser.
