Abstract

A light emitting module includes a laser element and a conversion member to convert a laser beam in a light having a different wavelength from a wavelength of the laser beam. A first FET includes a first gate. A second FET includes a second gate. A first transistor is serially connected to the second FET at a first connection node that is connected to the first gate. A sensing wire is provided on the conversion member. A second resistor is serially connected to the sensing wire at a second connection node that is connected to the second gate.
