Abstract: In an FSK laser transmitting apparatus, a light source can change the output light frequency. A driver performs FSK of the light source with a plurality of values. A beam splitter splits the output light from the light source into two split beams. A delay circuit delays one of the two split beams with respect to the other. A beam coupler combines delayed and nondelayed beams as the two split beams from the beam splitter. A controller detects the beat frequency of combined light from the beam coupler and supplies a control signal to the driver so as to set the beat frequency to be a predetermined value.
