Abstract
Disclosed herein is an optical transmitter suitable for stabilization of the output power and wavelength of an optical signal. The optical transmitter includes a light source for outputting a light beam, an external modulator for modulating the light beam according to a main signal to thereby output an optical signal, a power monitor for detecting the power of the optical signal output from the external modulator, and a control unit for controlling the light source so that the power detected by the power monitor becomes stable. The light source is controlled according to the power detected on the downstream side of the external modulator, so that the output power of the optical signal to be obtained can be maintained constant with high accuracy irrespective of variations in loss by the external modulator.
