Summary:1. Field of the Invention A semiconductor laser driving apparatus has a laser diode that emits a laser beam, a laser driving circuit that drives the laser diode by feeding a driving current in pulses to the laser diode, a conductor that conducts the driving current from the laser driving circuit to the laser diode, and an inductance adjuster that has a conductor-pattern for conducting the driving current and adjusting the magnitude of inductance in the conductor. A part of the conductor-pattern that makes the magnitude of the inductance a proper magnitude for emitting the laser beam in generally rectangular pulses, is selectively defined and conducts the driving current as a part of the conductor.
