Abstract:
An optical transmitter includes optical modulation means for modulating a laser beam with a driving signal and outputting an optical signal; monitor means for detecting a part of the optical signal and outputting a monitor signal; bias voltage applying means for applying, to the optical modulation means, a bias voltage on which a dither signal is superimposed; average optical intensity detection means for detecting an average optical intensity of the optical signal from the monitor signal; top dither signal detection means for detecting, from the monitor signal, a top dither signal that is superimposed on a waveform with maximum optical intensity included in the optical signal; and bias voltage control means for controlling the bias voltage based on the average optical intensity and the top dither signal.

Claim (Index 12):
The optical transmitter according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein the optical modulation section includes a first optical modulator configured to modulate a first laser beam that is one of two laser beams obtained by dividing the laser beam with a first driving signal, and output a first optical signal, a second optical modulator configured to modulate a second laser beam that is the other of the two laser beams obtained by dividing the laser beam with a second driving signal, and output a second optical signal, and a phase control section configured to control a phase difference between the first optical signal and the second optical signal, wherein the bias voltage applying section is configured to apply, by time division, a first bias voltage on which the dither signal is superimposed to the first optical modulator, a second bias voltage on which the dither signal is superimposed to the second optical modulator, and a third bias voltage on which the dither signal is superimposed to the phase control section.
