    Abstract: An optical sender is disclosed, which alone makes it possible to reliably decide whether modulation timing is correct or incorrect and to adjust the modulation timing. The optical sender includes: a first modulator that outputs a first optical pulse train subjected to intensity modulation; an asymmetric interferometer that outputs a second optical pulse train of double pulses; a second modulator (104) that outputs a third optical pulse train subjected to send-data modulation for each pulse pair; nd an optical intensity measuring device that measures an optical intensity of the third optical pulse train, a controller, when changing either of a first optical pulse train according to intensity modulation pattern and a second optical pulse train according to send-data modulation pattern, decides whether the modulation timing is correct or incorrect, based on optical intensity of the third optical pulse train.
