Abstract
A pre-equalization optical transmitter includes: a tap coefficient selecting unit for saving, in advance, a tap coefficients for generating an RZ pre-equalization signal and an NRZ pre-equalization signal, and for selecting and outputting one of the tap coefficients according to the value of a parameter that is a factor of transmission power fluctuations; a pre-equalization signal generating unit for generating the RZ pre-equalization signal or the NRZ pre-equalization signal based on the tap coefficient; and a modulating unit for generating a pre-equalization optical transmission signal by modulating an optical signal input from a light source by using a signal obtained through D/A conversion and amplification of the RZ pre-equalization signal or the NRZ pre-equalization signal, wherein a transmission method is switched between an RZ method and NRZ method by switching the tap coefficients by the tap coefficient selecting unit.
