ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In a system in which a light emitting element such as a semicon- ductor laser, light emitting diode or the like is modulated directly by a drive current corresponding to an input modulation signal, the light output for a given drive current gradually decreases and where the pulse width of the drive current is sufficiently wide the output pulse sage. These effects are due to thermal causes. The invention involves compensating for the decrease and sag. Various circuits providing this compensation are disclosed. One circuit ensures that the light emitting element is driven by a drive current corresponding to a composite signal composed of an input modulation signal and its integrated value. A D.C. component of appropriate magnitude may also be imposed on the drive current.
