A power control circuit for an optical information recording device is disclosed.
A power sampling signal from a photodiode is transmitted to a peal envelope acquiring
circuit and a bottom envelope acquiring circuit and then sampled and held, which
is fed-back to a laser diode driving circuit. The laser diode driving circuit alters
a driving signal emitted to the laser diode according to the fed-back signal to
adjust the power of the optical signal emitted from the laser diode. Therefore,
cost is reduced and the power control circuit is particularly suitable for high-speed
recordable optical disk drive.
