Abstract

After a startup of an optical transmitter, a control is started in such a way that a modulation amplitude of a driving signal of a phase modulator is set as 0, and that an operational point of a bias voltage is set as the lowest point of light transmission characteristics of the phase modulator. When the operational point of the bias voltage reaches the lowest point, the modulation amplitude of the driving signal is gradually increased from 0 to 2Vπ.
