Abstract

Provided is a driving circuit of a laser diode capable of surely eliminating noise without adversely affecting the current amplification action of the driving circuit of the laser diode. The driving circuit of the laser diode is provided with a first current route P1 from a power source, the laser diode LD, and a first transistor FET 1 to the grounding; and a second current route P2 from the power source, a resistor R, and a second transistor FET 2 to the grounding. To the FET 1 and the FET 2, the input signals of phases opposite to each other for respectively controlling currents flowing through the current routes P1 and P2 are supplied. A filter circuit 2 is inserted between the power source and a common contact (a) of the laser diode LD and the resistor R.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a laser diode drive circuit applied to an optical transmission device using a semiconductor laser (referred to as a laser diode). Background technique [0002] In recent years, the speed of optical communication has been increased, and with this increase, the speed of the pulse signal composed of 0 and 1 digital signals for communication purposes supplied to the laser diode drive circuit has also been increased. Specifically, the 0, 1 digital signal bit interval of the pulse signal is shortened to about 1 to 10 nanoseconds. The laser diode drive circuit converts the electrical amplitude of the pulse signal into the strength of the laser diode drive current. When there is noise in the driving current of the laser diode driving circuit, which disturbs the optical signal waveform, a filter circuit for removing noise must be added to the current path. [0003] In the prior art, when removing the noise of the laser diode d...
