Laser driver circuit able to compensate a temperature dependence of the laser diode

摘要

The present invention provides a laser diode driving circuit able to reduce the degradation of the optical output from the laser diode even when the characteristic of the laser diode widely scatters. The circuit provides a filter circuit connected in parallel to the laser diode that compensates the frequency dependence of the laser diode. In the invention, the frequency characteristic of this filter circuit may be varied depending on the scattering in the frequency response of the laser diode, or on the temperature characteristic of the diode.
