Semiconductor light source for an optical transmitter and an optical transmission module using the semiconductor light source

摘要

A semiconductor light source for an optical transmitter which includes at least one DC supply unit and at least one AC supply unit, comprises a DC signal source connected to the DC supply unit in order to supply a drive signal thereto; and an AC signal source connected to the AC supply unit in order to supply a control signal thereto; wherein turning on or off an optical output by the semiconductor light source is controlled by using a control signal having the same electric polarity as the drive signal.
