Abstract
In an optical modulation device, a driver applies a drive signal based on a data signal to a modulation unit, the modulation unit modulates the light input from an LD by the drive signal, and a bias control unit calculates a bias voltage value so as to make the f0 element closer to '0,' according to a detection result in a synchronization detection unit, and supplies a bias voltage of the calculated voltage value to the modulation unit. The bias control unit stops ABC control when the data signal is in a state different from a predefined state during the ABC control, and, after the stop of the ABC control, restarts the ABC control using, as an initial value, a bias voltage value calculated before the stop of the ABC control.
