Abstract: An optical transmitter with a feed-forward compensation is disclosed. The optical transmitter includes a first light source receiving a second electrical signal to convert into a first optical signal, an optical splitter dividing the first optical signal into a second optical signal and a third optical signal, an optical detector converting the third optical signal into a fourth electrical signal, a comparator receiving the fourth electrical signal and a third electrical signal, to produce a fifth electrical signal corresponding to a difference between the third electrical signal and the fourth electrical signal, a second light source converting the fifth electrical signal into a fourth optical signal, and an optical combiner for offsetting a distortion component of the fourth optical signal against the second optical signal to produce a fifth optical signal.
