Abstract:
An optical communication apparatus includes: a light-receiving device that receives an optical signal transmitted from another optical communication apparatus through an optical fiber and converts the optical signal into an electrical signal; a first measurement circuit that measures an average power and a modulation power of the optical signal based on the electrical signal; a light-emitting device that transmits the optical signal to the another optical communication apparatus by emitting light in accordance with a driving current; a driver that causes the light-emitting device to transmit the optical signal according to a transmission signal by controlling the driving current based on the transmission signal; and a processor that adjusts the driving current based on the average power and the modulation power.

Claim (Index 8):
The optical communication apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the processor controls the driving current in such a manner that the average of the driving current becomes the maximum value when receiving a control instruction from the another optical communication apparatus after the average power which is measured by the another measurement circuit of the another optical communication apparatus reaches the allowable maximum value.
