(2)  Laser Drive Control Circuit 

Laser Drive Control Circuit (LDC) consists of the video signal input circuit, laser 

drive circuit, laser diode, output sensing circuit and output control circuit, as shown 

in Fig.4-33. 

 

<Operation> 
 
(1) When the video signal is inputted, the laser drive control circuit has the laser 

diode switched on and radiated according to the video signal. 

(2) Radiated laser beam is sensed by the photo detector (PD), and the detecting 

signal is fed back to the output control circuit. 

(3) Output control circuit controls the radiation output to be constant, by comparing 

the laser output default with the feed-back value transmitted from the output 

sensing circuit. 

(4) Laser beam scanned by the scanner motor is sensed by the beam detector 

(PD), and then, the beam detecting timing (BDT) signal will be outputted.
