The optical amplifying semiconductor is positioned in one side of the reflecting surface. The polarity of a first signal is reverse to the polarity of the input optical signal. A second signal modulates the input optical signal reflected from the reflecting surface into an output optical signal. The first and second signals are combined and injected to the optical amplifying semiconductor.

A TIA(Transimpedance Amplifier)(603) amplifies the current signals and converts them into voltage signals. The voltage signals are inputted to an LA(Limiting Amplifier)(604), and they are amplified again. Some of output signals of the LA(604) are inputted to the first RF delay(605). Output signals of the RF delay(605) are inputted to an AND gate(606). Output signals of the AND gate(606) are changed into current signals through the first LDD(LD Driver)(607). Some inputted upstream data signals are inputted to the first LDD(607), and they are changed into current signals. The current signals are combined with bias current. Output signals of the first and second LDDs(607,609) are combined through a signal combiner(610), and the combined signal is injected into an RSOA(600).
