Abstract:
An uncooled optical semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor laser outputting laser light; an electric field absorption optical modulator absorbing light depending on a voltage applied to the electric field absorption optical modulator; a monitor photodiode monitoring backlight of the semiconductor laser; an auto power control circuit feeding back current of the monitor photodiode to a bias current supplied to the semiconductor laser; and a bias circuit feeding back an average value of a light absorption current to control a bias voltage applied to the electric field absorption optical modulator. The light absorption current is generated when the electric field absorption optical modulator absorbs the laser light.
