Abstract
A laser light control device includes: a photodiode disposed, along with a semiconductor laser, at a location capable of receiving laser light reflected on a polygon mirror after emitted from the semiconductor laser can be received; a semiconductor laser drive control section; and a comparison circuit configured to compare an output voltage of the photodiode and a reference voltage corresponding to a reference amount of light of the semiconductor laser. The semiconductor laser drive control section uses a timing with which the semiconductor laser drive control section receives from the comparison circuit an output indicating that the voltage output from the photodiode is larger than the reference voltage to generate a light emission start timing with which the semiconductor laser starts to emit laser light based on an image signal.
