Abstract

See full text

A laser driving device that drives a semiconductor laser based on a light-emitting signal includes an expansion circuit that expands a pulse width of the light-emitting signal based on a known difference between the pulse width of the light-emitting signal and a lighting pulse width of the semiconductor laser when the semiconductor laser emits light according to the light-emitting signal, and a driver that outputs a driving signal to the semiconductor laser according to an output signal of the expansion circuit.
