An electrophotographic image forming apparatus that are capable of reducing the variation of the rise time of the laser light source due to the temperature change of the laser light source with a simple configuration. A laser light source emits a laser beam according to a driving signal in order to expose an image bearing member. A voltage detection unit detects terminal voltage of the laser light source. A drive unit has a voltage source that can control output voltage and supplies current corresponding to the output voltage of the voltage source to the laser light source when making the laser light source emit the laser beam according to the driving signal. A control unit controls the voltage source so that the output voltage of the voltage source generates current overshot to a target current based on the detection result of the voltage detection unit.
