Optical transmitter
First Claim
1. An optical transmitter comprising:
- a directly modulated laser; and
a wavelength filter provided on a post-stage of said directly modulated laser, wherein, said wavelength filter has;
a modulated light input port connected to said directly modulated laser and inputting modulated light output from said directly modulated laser;
a filter transmitted light output port connected to an optical coupling system and outputting light having a wavelength included in a filter transmission band among said modulated light as filter transmitted light; and
a filter cutoff light output port provided separately from said modulated light input port and said filter transmitted light output port and outputting light having a wavelength included in a filter cutoff band among said modulated light as filter cutoff light, and wherein the peak of said filter transmission band is set on a shorter-wave side from the peak of the spectrum of modulated light output from said directly modulated laser.

Abstract
In an optical transmitter comprising a directly modulated laser and a wavelength filter provided on a post-stage of the directly modulated laser, the wavelength filter has a modulated light input port for inputting modulated light output from the directly modulated laser, a filter transmitted light output port for outputting light having a wavelength included in a filter transmission band among the modulated light as filter transmitted light, and a filter cutoff light output port provided separately from the modulated light input port and the filter transmitted light output port and outputting light having a wavelength included in a filter cutoff band among the modulated light as filter cutoff light, and the peak of the filter transmission band is set on a shorter-wave side from the peak of the spectrum of modulated light output from the directly modulated laser.
