ABSTRACT:
An air bag inflator (22) includes a source (40) of inflation fluid for inflating the air bag (20), and includes an initiator (30) which, when actuated, initiates a flow of the inflation fluid from the source (40) to the air bag (20) to inflate the air bag (20). The initiator (30) includes pyrotechnic material (100) and a laser diode (106). The laser diode (106) emits laser light which ignites the pyrotechnic material (100) when the initiator (30) is actuated.
