Drive circuit optical modulator and optical transmitter

An optical transmitter comprising:

• a light source supplied with a bias current and outputting carrier light having power corresponding to said bias current;
• an optical modulator having first and second electrodes for receiving a drive voltage, said optical modulator receiving said carrier light and modulating said carrier light according to said drive voltage to output modulated signal light;
• a terminating resistor connected between said first and second electrodes, for generating said drive voltage;
• a transmission line having a first end and a second end, said first end being connected to one of said first and second electrodes;
• a drive signal circuit connected to said second end of said transmission line, for generating a drive signal corresponding to said drive voltage according to a data signal received;
• and
• a reflection rejecter provided on said transmission line, for suppressing a reflected wave generating in said transmission line.
