摘要:
An apparatus for driving a semiconductor laser for use in a laser-beam printer, in which a laser beam from the laser is deflected so as to scan a light-sensitive drum and a light-sensitive detector placed in the vicinity of one edge of the drum, comprises a first device for determining the operation level for the laser when it scans the drum to record information thereon, a second device for determining the operation level for the laser when it scans the detector to provide a scanning start pulse signal and a controller for controlling the first and second devices so that they are alternately enabled to determine the intensity of the laser beam depending upon whether the drum or the detector is scanned, whereby the intensity of the laser beam is allowed to be adjusted in accordance with the varying light-sensitivity of the drum without fluctuating the instant of generation of the scanning start pulse signal.

To resolve a problem in which in an optical output and wavelength monitor integrated type semiconductor laser module monolithically integrated in parallel with a plurality of semiconductor lasers, since light emitting positions of the respective semiconductor lasers differ, an allowable range of an optical incident position of the monitor is exceeded, the optical incident position of the monitor is confined in the allowable range by integrating backward optical waveguides for guiding backward beam of the respective semiconductor lasers to a narrow range at a backward end of a semiconductor chip along with the semiconductor lasers, whereby there can be easily realized a semiconductor laser module with a built-in optical monitor even in the case of the chip integrated with the plurality of semiconductor lasers and can be realized an inexpensive optical module having high function.

In a wavelength locking optical system, a resonator is formed between a wavelength deviation detection device and a facet of the laser diode, which makes a control signal unstable. A solution to this problem is to arrange polarization controlling elements between a wavelength deviation detection filter and a laser diode to stabilize the deviation signal, and to perform wavelength-locking with the stabilizer signal.
