Abstract
An optical transmission device obtains driving control data corresponding to a temperature detected by a temperature detection circuit (112) from memory means (173), controls a driving current to be supplied to a laser diode (100) based on the driving control data, and measures a driving current to be actually supplied to the laser diode whose emission power is held constant by an automatic optical output control circuit (115, 113). Further, when the difference between the measured driving current and a driving current determined by the driving control data corresponding to the detected temperature at that time exceeds an allowable range, the optical transmission device updates the driving control data related to the corresponding temperature, on the memory means so that the difference between the driving currents is defined as each of increases in bias current and modulating current.
