Method of driving a laser diode for an optical card recording/reproducing apparatus.

摘要

There is disclosed a method of driving a laser diode for an optical card recording/reproducing apparatus adapted to irradiate a light beam onto an optical card for carrying out recording of information or reproduction of information, wherein, at the time of reproducing information, the laser diode is caused to be intermittently subjected to emitting operation so that the average output becomes equal to a predetermined value. <IMAGE>
