Patent ID: 8687967

Claim:
An optical transceiver, comprising: an optical transceiver main body; a plurality of pairs of optical transmitters and optical receivers housed inside the optical transceiver main body by being disposed in parallel; optical transmitter substrates and optical receiver substrates, which individually hold each of the optical transmitters and the optical receivers; an optical transceiver substrate which holds each of the optical transmitter substrates and the optical receiver substrates; and connectors which connect each of the optical transmitter substrates as well as the optical receiver substrates to the optical transceiver substrate detachably, wherein: each of the optical transmitters includes a laser diode that outputs a laser beam; each of the optical transmitter substrates includes a memory that stores a driving condition of each of the optical transmitters; and the optical transceiver substrate includes a laser diode driving section that drives the laser diode and a driving section controller that controls drive of the laser diode driving section.
