    Abstract: To autonomously apply a bias voltage to an optical modulator according to phase angle information provided from outside in a pluggable optical module. A pluggable electric connector (11) can communicate a communication data signal and a control signal with an optical communication apparatus (92). An optical signal output unit (13) includes a Mach-Zehnder type optical modulator including a phase modulation area and outputs an optical modulation signal (LS) modulated according to the communication data signal. An optical power control unit (14) can control optical power of the optical modulation signal (LS). A pluggable optical receptor (15) can output the optical modulation signal (LS) to an optical fiber (91). A control unit (12) controls a modulation operation of the optical signal output unit (13) and the bias voltage applied to the phase modulation area. The control unit (12) determines the bias voltage applied to the phase modulation area according to phase angle information of the control signal (CON1). The optical signal output unit (13) applies the bias voltage determined by the control unit (12) to the phase modulation area.

    Abstract: A driver circuit, for generating narrow electrical pulses of high repetition rate with high peak current and low after pulse ringing to drive an optical load, may include a source, a first circuit path, and a second circuit path. The first circuit path may be connected to the source and may include inductive elements and a switch. The switch being in a closed state may charge current in the inductive elements through the first circuit path. The second circuit path may connect to the optical load and may be connected to the source. The second circuit path may include the inductive elements and a capacitive element in series with the optical load. The switch transitioning from the closed state to an open state may discharge current from the inductive elements through the second circuit path to provide an electrical pulse to the optical load.
