Abstract:
An object is to provide a technology capable of suppressing life deterioration of a laser light source device. A laser light source device includes a laser bank having a plurality of semiconductor laser elements, a drive part for applying an electric current to the plurality of semiconductor laser elements of the laser bank, a light intensity detection part for detecting light intensity output from the laser bank, a temperature detection part for detecting a temperature of the laser bank, and a control part for determining an electric current limit value based on the detected temperature, and for controlling the electric current of the drive part based on the detected light intensity and the electric current limit value.
