ABSTRACT:
A sub signal modulation apparatus, with the intention of stabilized transmission of a sub signal superimposed on main signal light irrespective of the intensity of the main signal light when used in a general-purpose main signal transmitter, including a sub signal outputting unit; a variable optical attenuator for variably attenuating main signal light, into which the main signal has been modulated, at a response speed lower than ½ of a speed of the main signal; an attenuation determining unit for determining, in accordance with the sub signal output from the sub signal outputting unit, an attenuation of the variable optical attenuator for the main signal light; and a stabilizing controller for controlling the attenuation determining unit such that an amplitude of the attenuation of the variable optical attenuator is stabilized to have a constant ratio to a mean intensity of the main signal light.
