Abstract
A wavelength tunable laser module for DWDM is used, in which a single electroabsorption modulator integrated laser is mounted and an oscillation wavelength is made tunable by temperature control. Driving conditions of a laser and a modulator are determined such that they have approximately the same modulation and transmission characteristics in a temperature control range. Such an electroabsorption modulator integrated laser is used and the driving conditions are incorporated, thereby a small, inexpensive wavelength tunable optical transmitter can be provided.
