PURPOSE: An optical transmitter for transmitting an optical signal through a symbol rate at high transmission speed is provided to simplify a structure of an optical transceiver without using an ADC(Analog to Digital Converter), a high speed DSP(Digital Signal Processor) and a polarizing controller. CONSTITUTION: An optical transmitter(100) includes a dual carrier generator(120), a serialization unit(110), a first modulator, and a second modulator. The dual carrier generator generates the first and second optical carriers. The serialization unit multiplexes input signals into two pairs of I and Q signals. The first modulator modulates one pair of I and Q signals in the use of the phase of the first optical carrier. The second modulator modulates the other pair of I and Q signals in the use of the phase of the second optical carrier.
