A voltage dividing apparatus for preventing sudden increases in power to a laser diode includes a laser diode module, a laser-driving unit and a Zener diode. The laser diode module includes a laser diode for receiving a driving current to emit light, and a photo diode for receiving the light emitted from the laser diode and transferring the light signal into a voltage signal. The voltage signal is fed back to the laser diode module for automatically balancing the power of the laser diode. The laser-driving unit is used for driving the laser diode to output power. When the circuit shorts, two voltage-dividing resistors and the Zener diode disable the laser-driving unit to protect the laser diode. It blocks the laser diode's outputting power to prevent the outputting power from suddenly increasing and prevent the laser with strong power from hurting a user's eyes.
