wherein Va is the input voltage of the laser driving unit, Vb is the same-phase input end voltage of the operational amplifier U3, Vc is the opposite-phase input end voltage of U3, Vd is the high-side voltage of the sampling resistor Rs, and Ve is the low-side voltage of the sampling resistor Rs;
according to the preset conditions R7 ═ R9, R8 ═ R10, where a scaling factor k exists between R8, R10 and R7, R9, that is, R8 ═ R10 ═ k ═ R7;
the equation 1 is converted into equation 4: ve ═ k +1) Vb-kVa;
the equation 2 is converted into equation 5: vd ═ K +1 × Vc;
substituting said equation 3 results in equation 6:
