Abstract
An optical transmitter includes a Mach-Zehnder modulator having an arm waveguide and a phase controller configured to control a phase of a light propagating through the arm waveguide by applying a voltage to the Mach-Zehnder modulator. When the voltage is deviated from a predetermined range, the phase controller shifts the voltage in the direction opposite to a direction of the deviation from the predetermined range by the amount corresponding to a change of 2π in the phase.
