Abstract

See full text

An optical communication apparatus includes an optical modulator having a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a pair of waveguides and configured to modulate a phase of light emitted from a light source, a first controller configured to control a first substrate bias voltage or an amplitude of a first drive signal applied to a first waveguide of the waveguide pair of the optical modulator based upon an output of the optical modulator or a wavelength of the light source; and a second controller configured to control a second substrate bias voltage or an amplitude of a second drive signal applied to a second waveguide of the waveguide pair of the optical modulator independently from the first controller, based upon the output of the optical modulator or the wavelength of the light source.
