Patent abstract
A laser diode driving device capable of obtaining a stable pulse emission state even when variation in the current-light amount characteristic of a laser diode thereof is caused by environmental changes. A photodiode detects the amount of light emitted from the laser diode. A laser controller determines the amount of light to be emitted from the laser diode. Further, the laser controller controls the laser diode to emit light in the determined light amount. A bias current value-determining section determines a bias current value based on results of light emission performed by the laser diode in three or more kinds of light amounts determined by the laser controller.
