Abstract:
Provided is an optical transmission module which can generate PAM4 optical modulation signals without converting a plurality of binary electric signals to a multi-level electric signal. An optical transmission module (200) comprising: a light source (60) for emitting continuous waveform (CW) light; optical modulators (51,52,53) arranged in series with a path of the CW light configured to modulate the CW light by switching relatively large absorption and relatively small absorption of the optical modulators in response to a modulation signal applied to the respective optical modulators; and an arithmetic logic circuit (100) configured to receive a plurality of binary electrical signals, and then to perform logic operation on the plurality of binary electrical signals for generating a new plurality of binary electrical signals, wherein each of the new plurality of binary electrical signals is applied to the respective optical modulators as the modulation signal.
