Abstract

A device for stabilizing the output power of a transmitter module in an optical fiber transmission system comprises a first circuit for stabilizing the mean value of the optical output power produced by a laser diode, the first circuit being connected between a device for converting optical power to electrical power and the laser diode. The device further comprises a second circuit for stablilizing the amplitude of modulation of the optical output power produced by the laser diode, the second circuit being connected between the conversion circuit and the laser diode.
