Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical transmitter which causes no damage to human eyes, when an optical connector plug is detached from a receptacle in a state in which the transmitter is emitting light rays. SOLUTION: In a state in which light rays are emitted from a light emitting element 1, when an optical connector plug 10 is fitted into a receptacle 5, light rays emitted from the light emitting element 1 are reflected from the optical connector plug 10 and received by a photodetector 3. A receiving circuit 4 connected to the photodetector 3 controls an amplifier 2 so as to enhance its drive current, and required light in emission intensity is emitted from the light emitting element 1. When the optical connector plug 10 is detached from the receptacle 5, light rays emitted from the light emitting element 1 are not reflected from the optical connector plug 10 and no longer will not be received by the photodetector 3. The receiving circuit 2 makes the drive current of the amplifier 2 lowered, so that the light emitting element 1 is reduced in emission intensity so as not to cause damages to human eyes.
