ABSTRACT:
The present invention aims at providing a drive control apparatus and a drive control method with a simple configuration, which can also reliably compensate for operating point fluctuations of an optical modulator driven in accordance with a drive signal corresponding to a clock signal. To this end, the drive control apparatus of the present invention is configured to supply, to an optical modulator of which the optical output characteristics with respect to drive voltage are changed periodically, a drive signal having a waveform corresponding to a clock signal, and the amplitude of which is set to around 2Vπ, detect the power of an optical signal output from the optical modulator, and control an operating point of the optical modulator so that an average value of the optical signal power becomes a maximum.
