ABSTRACT:
A transmitter unit (100) including a semiconductor laser (101) as a carrier light exciting source, a biasing source (102) for providing the semiconductor laser with a d.c. biasing current, an external modulator (105) for intensity-modulating an output light of the semiconductor laser according to a transmission signal, and means (107; 210; 510; 701, 702, 703, 704) for causing the external modulator to output only the carrier light and either side-band light. Also provided is a receiver unit (150) including a receiver (151) for square-law detecting the carrier light and the side-band light supplied from the transmitter unit to obtain an electric signal, and a linear filter (152) for equalizing this electric signal. The present invention results in an optical communication apparatus capable of easily equalizing dispersion distortion caused in a transmission path (115) having a large dispersion from a light-intensity modulated light signal transmitted therethrough.
