Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the light emission control of the semiconductor laser, when the drive current of the semiconductor laser is increased from zero to the current that can obtain the specified amount of light, the semiconductor laser does not emit light before the drive current reaches the threshold current Ith, resulting in the start of laser light. The time becomes longer and the prescribed amount of light cannot be obtained
