Abstract:
method of controlling an optical transmitter comprising a determining step, a dividing step and a determining step. In the determining step, a full range of an optical signal output from a light-generating device is determined by setting an upper and a lower limit thereof by keeping power of a continuous wave (CW) light constant and varying an electrical driving signal, the optical signal having 2n optical levels where n is an integer. In the dividing step, the full range of the optical signal is divided into sub-ranges each between the neighbor optical levels including the upper limit and the lower limit of the full range, the sub-ranges having preset ratios. In the determining step, electrical levels of the electrical driving signal are determined based on a non-linear transfer characteristic of the light-generating device between the electrical driving signal supplied thereto and the optical signal output therefrom.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 8 ,\n further including steps of, generating a pulse amplitude (PAM) signal from m of input signals, where m=log10(n)/log10(2), the PAM signal having n of electrical levels with an even interval, and setting the n of the electrical levels in the PAM signal by the n of the electrical levels of the electrical driving signal determined for the one of the transfer characteristics corresponding to the current accumulative operating time.
