Abstract

The disclosed device comprises two duty ratio detectors for detecting respective duty ratios of an input modulation signal modulating an incoming light beam and a modulated intensity-of-light signal proportional to an intensity of an outgoing light beam, a differential amplifier for producing a difference between both duty ratios, and a bias control for supplying this difference to an optical modulator through a bias amplifier.
