APC
The laser diode has large negative temperature characteristic in its optical output when
driven with a constant current on laser diode. Therefore, the output on processing monitor
photo diode, must be a controlled current for getting regular output power, thus the APC
(Auto Power Control) circuit is composed.
Reference Power Supply
A reference power supply for servo is built-in. The current capacity of the reference supply
is about 3 mA.
