In the apparatus for driving a laser diode, a light receiving element detects a light output level of the laser diode to produce an electric signal. That is, the light receiving element detects a first electric signal when the laser diode is driven based upon an ON signal, and a second electric signal when the laser diode is driven based upon an OFF signal. A control circuit outputs a control signal in response to the signal. A driving circuit drives the laser diode in response to the control signal such that a difference between the first electric signal and the second electric signal is maintained at a constant value.
