APC Circuit
When the laser diode is driven by a constant current, the optical power output has extremely large negative
temperature characteristics.
The APC circuit is used to maintain the optical power output at a constant level. The laser diode current is
controlled according to the monitor photodiode output.
APC is ON by connecting APC_ON pin to GND; it is OFF by connecting the pin to Vcc.
