Abstract
An optical transmitter includes: an optical modulator that includes a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, a first phase shift segment, and a second phase shift segment, the first phase shift segment and the second phase shift segment each being configured to shift a phase of light propagating through an optical path of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer; and a drive circuit that generates a signal for driving the optical modulator. The drive circuit includes: a first circuit that generates a first electric signal from an input signal indicating transmission data; and a second circuit that generates a second electric signal that emphasizes an edge of the first electric signal based on the input signal. The drive circuit provides the first electric signal to the first phase shift segment and provides the second electric signal to the second phase shift segment.
