    Abstract: Provided is an optical transmitter in which a forward-end surface of a semiconductor laser is set to an effective reflectance with respect to near-end reflection. The optical transmitter is provided with a semiconductor laser and at least one optical function element to which output light from the semiconductor laser is input. The optical transmitter is characterized in that: a signal-to-noise ratio in an optical receiver which receives an optical signal output from the optical transmitter includes a first contribution component caused by re-entry of reflected return light from the at least one optical function element into the semiconductor laser, and a second contribution component caused irrespective of the strength of the optical signal input to the optical receiver; and the reflectance of a forward-end surface of the semiconductor laser is set to a value in a predetermined range including a reflectance that maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio due to the first contribution component and the second contribution component with respect to a change in the reflectance of the forward-end surface.
