Automatic power control circuit and method, and laser diode circuit

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an automatic power control circuit and method, and a laser diode circuit comprising the automatic power control circuit. The automatic power control circuit comprises: a voltage measurement unit configured to obtain an indicative voltage at a specific measurement point and output the indicative voltage to a processor, wherein the indicative voltage is configured to indicate a forward voltage of a laser diode in laser emitting state; and the processor configured to output a pulse parameter control signal in response to change in the indicative voltage, wherein the pulse parameter control signal is used to control an adjustment for a pulse parameter of laser pulses of the laser diode, such that laser emission power is within a preset range, and wherein the pulse parameter of the laser pulses of the laser diode is used to set a total duration of pulses within a preset time period.
