ABSTRACT:
In the application of the optical transmitter to any system for the compensation of passing degradation, the invention provides the optical transmitter which maintains constant modulator output and the highly reliable optical transmission by tuning, the alpha parameter for given systems.As the optical element back-face output power detected by PD6depends on the optical element driving current amount, the electronic absorption amount of the EA optical modulator monitored by the electronic absorption monitor depends on the optical output of the optical element5and the EA optical modulator driving point of the driving part8. It is possible to detect a change in the driving point in the EA optical modulator by taking a difference between the amount monitored by the PD6and the amount monitored by the electronic absorption monitor. Consequently by applying to the driving current source10the current corresponding to the change of the EA optical modulator driving point, it is possible to automatically compensate the modulator output7when the driving point of the EA optical modulator changes due to the change of the alpha parameter and the passing degradation.
