Abstract:
An optical transmission apparatus includes: a Mach-Zehnder modulator including a first arm waveguide having electrodes; and a driver driving the Mach-Zehnder modulator in response to a pulse amplitude modulated signal, the driver including driving circuits connected to the respective electrodes and each of the driving circuits including a comparator receiving the pulse amplitude modulated signal.

Claim (Index 6):
An optical transmission apparatus comprising:\n a Mach-Zehnder modulator including an arm waveguide with a plurality of electrodes; a semiconductor integrated driving device having an input configured to receive a pulse amplitude modulated signal having amplitude levels indicating respective symbols, and a plurality of outputs configured to supply a plurality of drive signals to the Mach-Zehnder modulator, the plurality of drive signals being associated with respective amplitudes of the pulse amplitude modulated signal such that one or more of the electrodes causes phase change of light propagating in the arm waveguide; and a plurality of conductors connecting the plurality of electrodes of the arm waveguide with the semiconductor integrated driving device, the semiconductor integrated driving device including a plurality of limiting amplifiers driving the plurality of electrodes, and the plurality of limiting amplifiers being connected to the Mach-Zehnder modulator through the plurality of conductors.
