Abstract
A light-emitting component includes laser elements and a setting unit. Each laser element is set to be in an on state with a logical value “m (m represents an integer of 1 or more)”, an on state considered as having a logical value “0”, or an off state. The setting unit sets the laser element to be in a state ready to transition to an on state and sets the laser element in the state ready to transition to the on state to be in the on state considered as having a logical value “0” before a timing of setting the laser element to the on state with a logical value “m”.
Claims15
A light-emitting component comprising:
- a plurality of laser elements, each laser element being set to be in an on state with a logical value “m (m represents an integer of 1 or more)”, an on state considered as having a logical value “0”, or an off state;
- and
- a setting unit that sets the laser element to be in a state ready to transition to an on state and sets the laser element in the state ready to transition to the on state to be in the on state considered as having a logical value “0” before a timing of setting the laser element to the on state with a logical value “m”.
A light-emitting device comprising:
- a light-emitting component including
- a plurality of laser elements, each laser element being set to be in an on state with a logical value “m (m represents an integer of 1 or more)”, an on state considered as having a logical value “0”, or an off state, and
- a setting unit that sets the laser element to be in a state ready to transition to an on state and sets the laser element in the state ready to transition to the on state to be in the on state considered as having a logical value “0” before a timing of setting the laser element to the on state with a logical value “m”;
- and
- a drive unit that supplies, to the setting unit of the light-emitting component, a transfer signal that causes the state ready to transition to an on state to sequentially transfer in the laser elements, and a lighting signal that sets the laser elements in the on state with a logical value “0” before a timing of setting the laser elements to assume the on state with a logical value “m”.
