An optical communication device has a pair of Mach-Zehnder optical modulators; a voltage monitor configured to monitor a voltage component acquired by optical-to-electric conversion of combined light output from the Mach-Zehnder optical modulators; a power monitor configured to monitor a power component acquired by square law detection of the optical-to-electric converted combined light from the Mach-Zehnder optical modulators; a first controller configured to control a substrate bias voltage or a driving amplitude applied to one of two waveguides of each of the Mach-Zehnder optical modulators based upon an output of the power monitor, and a second controller configured to control the substrate bias voltage or the driving amplitude applied to the other of the two waveguides of each of the Mach-Zehnder optical modulator based upon an output of the voltage monitor.
