Abstract
A pluggable optical module according to the present invention includes a pluggable electric connector configured so as to be insertable into and removable from an optical transmission apparatus, and capable of transmitting/receiving a data signal to/from the optical transmission apparatus, a drive unit configured to output first/second driving signals by amplifying the data signal, an optical signal output unit configured to output a first/second optical signal modulated according to the first/second drive signal, a light-intensity monitoring unit configured to monitor intensities of the first/second optical signals, a control unit configured to control a gain of the drive unit so as to adjust a difference between the intensities of the first/second optical signals based on a result of the monitoring by the light-intensity monitoring unit, and a pluggable optical receptor configured so that an optical fiber can be inserted thereinto and removed therefrom, and configured to output the first/second optical signals.
