There is provided an optical transmitter including a memory, a processor coupled to the memory and the processor to generate an electric signal, an optical generator to generate light, an optical modulator to modulate the light with the electric signal to create an optical signal, a first voltage electrode to apply a first voltage to the optical signal, a second voltage electrode to apply a second voltage to the optical signal to which the first voltage is applied, and a detector to detect an optical power of the optical signal to which the second voltage is applied, wherein the processor stops generating the electric signal, controls the first voltage electrode to change the first voltage after the stop of generating the electric signal, and controls the second voltage electrode to change the second voltage according to the detected optical power after the change of the first voltage.

Optical transmitter

An optical transmission apparatus includes: an optical receiver configured to receive an optical signal; a variable optical attenuator configured to adjust a power of the optical signal to be input to the optical receiver according to a variable attenuation amount; and a controller configured to control the attenuation amount of the variable optical attenuator based on an electrical signal obtained by performing a coherent detection and a photoelectric conversion on the optical signal received by the optical receiver.
