Abstract

See full text

An optical transmitter has an optical modulator having Mach-Zehnder interferometers, modulator drivers configured to drive the optical modulator by a drive signal, a low frequency generator configured to generated a low frequency signal that changes a ratio of a driving amplitude with respect to a half-wave voltage of the optical modulator, a photodetector configured to detect a portion of output light of the optical modulator, a detector configured to detect a low frequency component contained in a detected signal from the photodetector using the low frequency signal, and a bias voltage controller configured to control a bias voltage for the optical modulator such that the detected low frequency component becomes the maximum and in-phase with the superimposed low frequency signal.
