Abstract
A beam controller for controlling a semiconductor laser included in an optical recording-play-back apparatus. The beam controller is comprised of first and second current sources for driving the semiconductor laser at a low level during a play-back mode and at a high level during an erasing mode. The first and second current sources are respectively automatically controlled by a first and second auto-power control circuit to provide stable power outputs.
