Abstract
An optical transmission circuit includes: a semiconductor laser; a drive circuit for supplying drive current to the semiconductor laser; a duty changing circuit for changing a duty value of an input data; a converting circuit for supplying a duty control signal to the duty changing circuit in order to adjust the duty value of the input data; and an adjusting circuit for supplying an optical power control signal to the converting circuit and the drive circuit. The adjusting circuit performs an initial setting of an optical power of the semiconductor laser, and the converting circuit performs the initial setting of the duty value so as to have a characteristic opposite to the optical power. According to the above structure, it is possible to realize the duty adjustment and the optical power adjustment by using only one adjusting circuit so that it is possible to achieve a simplified, miniatuarized, and low cost optical transmission circuit.
