    Abstract: An optical device includes a generator, a light emitter, a modulator, an optical amplifier, a current source, a storage, and a controller. The generator generates an electric signal of a multilevel amplitude modulation method. The light emitter emits laser light. The modulator modulates the laser light using the electric signal and outputs an optical signal. The optical amplifier optically amplifies the modulated optical signal according to a drive current. The current source adjusts the drive current to be supplied to the optical amplifier. The storage previously stores an information with respect to input-output characteristics of the optical signal in the optical amplifier relative to drive current value of the drive current. The controller acquires, from the storage, the input-output characteristics corresponding to the drive current value of the drive current supplied to the optical amplifier and controls the electric signal based on the acquired input-output characteristics.

    Abstract: An optical modulator includes a first shifter and a second shifter. The first shifter includes a first waveguide through which first light passes, and a first electrode that causes power according to a drive voltage to act on the first waveguide. The first shifter shifts a phase of the first light passing through the first waveguide in accordance with the drive voltage applied to the first electrode. The second shifter includes a second waveguide through which second light passes, and a second electrode that causes power according to a drive voltage to act on the second waveguide. The second shifter shifts a phase of the second light passing through the second waveguide in accordance with the drive voltage applied to the second electrode. The second shifter is constituted to have a smaller amount of phase shift according to a predetermined amount of drive voltage than the first shifter.
