    Abstract: In an optical transmitter having an electro-optic modulator with first child MZI and a second child MZI nested to form a parent MZI, and a processor that controls the bias voltages of electro-optic modulator. In the first section of a control loop, the processor simultaneously superimposes different dither signals onto the first bias voltage of the first child MZI and the second bias voltage of the second child MZI, and extracts the first phase error information for the first child MZI and the first-round third phase error for the parent MZI from a first monitoring result. In the second section of the control loop, the processor simultaneously superimposes different dither signals onto the first and second bias voltages, and extracts the second phase error information for the second child MZI and the second-round third phase error for the parent MZI from a second monitoring result.
