Abstract
An optical transmitter includes: a splitter; a first optical modulator and a second optical modulator that modulate each of light beams split by the splitter; a first semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and a second SOA that are connected to a subsequent stage of the first optical modulator and a subsequent stage of the second optical modulator, respectively; a first detector and a second detector that detect light output intensity of the first SOA and light output intensity of the second SOA, respectively; a controller that sets gains of the first and second SOAs such that the first and second SOAs are equal in the light output intensity based on detection values of the first and second detectors; and a combiner that combines an output light beam of the first SOA and an output light beam of the second SOA.
