Abstract:
An optical modulation circuit includes: a first Mach-Zehnder modulating portion including a first output port and a second output port, wherein the first Mach-Zehnder modulating portion is push-pull driven by a main signal; a second Mach-Zehnder modulating portion connected to the first output port of the first Mach-Zehnder modulating portion, wherein the second Mach-Zehnder modulating portion is push-pull driven by a correction signal; and an asymmetric light combining portion combining an optical signal outputted from an output port of the second Mach-Zehnder modulating portion with an optical signal outputted from the second output port of the first Mach-Zehnder modulating portion in a light intensity coupling ratio of r to 1−r, wherein an optical path length from the first output port to the asymmetric light combining portion is substantially equal to an optical path length from the second output port to the asymmetric light combining portion.
