ABSTRACT:
The present invention aims at providing a drive circuit and a drive method for a semiconductor laser module including an electro-absorption type optical modulator, capable of obtaining a stable optical output without controlling a module temperature to be constant. To this end, the drive circuit of the present invention detects a temperature in the semiconductor laser module comprising a semiconductor laser and an EA modulator, and based on the detected temperature, controls a drive current supplied to the semiconductor laser and a bias voltage and a modulated electric signal applied to the EA modulator, so that average power, an extinction ratio and an optical cross point of an optical signal output from the semiconductor laser module are held to be constant.
