This invention makes it possible to meet a requirement of high-quality
image printing and high-speed driving of a semiconductor laser driver in
a laser beam printer or the like while suppressing radiant noise. A laser
circuit substrate includes a first wiring pattern and second wiring
pattern connected to a main wiring pattern, a first circuit which is
connected to the first wiring pattern and has a semiconductor laser
element and a driving circuit for driving the semiconductor laser
element, a second circuit which is connected to the second wiring pattern
and compensates noise generated by the first circuit, a first capacitor
which is connected to a first point in the first wiring pattern, and a
second capacitor which is connected to a second point in the second
wiring pattern. The positions of the first point and second point are set
such that the sum of the impedances of the first wiring pattern and first
circuit viewed from the first point, and the sum of the impedances of the
second wiring pattern and second circuit viewed from the second point are
substantially equal to each other.
