Abstract
A semiconductor laser drive circuit capable of improving a driving speed of a high resistance semiconductor laser such as a GaN-based semiconductor laser, comprising a buffer circuit for shaping waveforms of input signals, a level-shift circuit for shifting the levels of output signals of the buffer circuit, a switch circuit for controlling and outputting signal levels of output signals of the level-shift circuit based on switch control signals, a combining circuit for combining output signals of the switch circuit, and a source follower for supplying power to a high resistance semiconductor laser based on an output signal of the combining circuit. The high resistance semiconductor laser is for example a GaN-based semiconductor laser for emitting blue-violet laser light.
