Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a laser light source module capable of diverting current flowing to a laser diode when the laser diode does not emit light. A laser light source module includes a laser diode, a bypass circuit parallelly connected to the laser diode and diverting current flowing to a laser diode in an on state, a light detection circuit detecting laser light of the laser diode, and the bypass circuit switching circuit switching the bypass circuit to the on state in accordance with a control signal being input thereto, and the bypass circuit switching circuit can switch the bypass circuit to the on state in accordance with a state where the light detection circuit does not detect the laser light.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of specifying the failure laser diode according to  claim 8 , further comprising steps that:\n (e) after the defective laser diode is specified, the controller obtains a voltage value V 1  at both ends of the current source while outputting the control signal for switching the bypass circuit to the on state to the laser light source module including the defective laser diode; (f) after the defective laser diode is specified, the controller obtains a voltage value V 2  at both ends of the current source while outputting the control signal for switching the bypass circuit to an off state to the laser light source module including the defective laser diode; and (g) the controller determines a type of a failure of the defective laser diode in accordance with a difference between the voltage value V 1  and the voltage value V 2 .
