The invention concerns a transmitter arrangement comprising a plurality of semiconductor lasers disposed adjacent one another. According to the invention, in order to construct a transmitter arrangement of this type as easily as possible whilst preventing the semiconductor lasers from having unacceptably high light outputs, at least one monitoring laser (LDu) is provided with which a monitor diode (M) is associated. The monitor diode (M) is connected to an electronic circuit arrangement (2) which, with the semiconductor lasers (LD1 to LDn) being controlled in parallel accordingly, controls the monitoring laser (LDu) such that an electrical signal (Sg) of the monitor diode (M) constantly displays a default value. A correcting quantity is formed with this value and a desired signal corresponding to the desired value of the optical output of the monitoring laser (LDu). If a current (e.g. I1d1) flowing through the semiconductor lasers (e.g. LD1) exceeds the current flowing through the monitoring laser (LDu) and weighted with the correcting quantity (Id1u), this semiconductor laser (LD1) is controlled in a manner such that its output is decreased. |
