Abstract
A laser module includes a semiconductor laser, an output optical system provided on an optical output side of the semiconductor laser, a temperature detecting element that detects a temperature of the output optical system; and an output controller that calculates a drive current to set an optical output intensity of the laser module at a desired value on the basis of temperature information obtained by the temperature detecting element, and outputs the drive current to the semiconductor laser.
