ABSTRACT:
A drive circuit for an optical modulator having first and second electrodes for receiving a drive voltage. The optical modulator modulates carrier light from a light source according to the drive voltage to output modulated signal light. A terminating resistor for generating the drive voltage is connected between the first and second electrodes. A first end of a transmission line is connected to one of the first and second electrodes. A circuit for generating a drive signal is connected to a second end of the transmission line. A reflection rejecter (e.g., attenuator) for suppressing a reflected wave generating in the transmission line is provided on the transmission line. This drive circuit improves the waveform of the modulated signal light in case that the carrier light has large power.
