Abstract
An optical transmitter circuit including a light receiving element, such as a photodiode, which monitors the optical output of a light emitting element such as a semiconductor laser. A current-voltage converting circuit supplies a drive current from a drive circuit to the light emitting element and converts the output voltage of the light receiving element into voltage. An APC amplifier compares the converted output signals and a reference signal, and a hold circuit holds the output signal of the APC amplifier and uses the output signal as a current control signal of the drive circuit. A “1” continuous signal detecting circuit detects the continuation of “1” in a specified number of bits in the input data (DATA) and updates the hold value in the hold circuit.
