Summary:A temperature control apparatus comprises a light-emitting device, a light-emitting device controller, a Peltier device for controlling the temperature of the light-emitting device to a target temperature, a temperature detector for the light-emitting device, a first reference voltage holding unit for holding a voltage corresponding to the target temperature, a reference voltage controller for outputting a holding signal and a switching signal, a second reference voltage holding unit for holding the output voltage of the temperature detector on the basis of the holding signal, a reference voltage switching unit for selecting either the output of the first reference voltage holding unit or the output of the second reference voltage holding unit as a reference voltage, and a Peltier controller for controlling the Peltier device so as to minimize a difference between the output voltage of the temperature detector and the output voltage of the reference voltage switching unit.
