Abstract

See full text

An optical modulation apparatus includes an optical modulation unit that includes a plurality of ring optical modulators which are coupled in cascade to each other and the ring optical waveguides of which have round-trip lengths different from each other, and a controller that performs, for at least one of the ring optical modulators, first resonance wavelength adjustment control to adjust the resonance wavelength of the ring optical modulator to one input light wavelength, performs second resonance wavelength adjustment control to specify the ring optical modulator that exhibits a minimum current amount required for the adjustment of the resonance wavelength of the ring optical waveguide to the one input light wavelength from among the ring optical modulators and adjust the resonance wavelength of the specified ring optical modulator to the one input light wavelength, and performs modulation driving control for the specified ring optical modulator.
