Abstract
An optical transmitter for modulating light from a light source to generate an optical transmission signal with use of a data sequence as an electric signal, the optical transmitter including: a mapping section for mapping the data sequence to be converted into multi-level data based on modulation multi-level degree information indicating multi-level degree of the modulation; a D/A converter for converting the multi-level data output from the mapping section into an analog signal; an optical modulator to be driven based on the analog signal output from the D/A converter, for modulating the light from the light source; and a bias control section for setting control polarity of DC bias control of the optical modulator based on the modulation multi-level degree information.
