Abstract
An optical transmitter comprises a first unit for generating an optical signal having a bandwidth given by a main signal, a second unit modulating the optical signal according to a control signal to extend the bandwidth of the optical signal, a third unit extracting backward light including SBS(stimulated Brillouin scattering) light generated in an optical fiber transmission line, and a fourth unit performing feedback control so that the power of the SBS light becomes substantially constant. Through the structure of the optical transmitter good transmission characteristics of a main signal are obtained and the suppression of the SBS is allowed.
