    摘要: A drive circuit for a direct modulated laser and a direct modulated optical transmitter. The drive circuit includes a service data drive unit, a voltage configuration unit, a monitoring data modulation unit, and a monitoring current generation unit. Output terminals of the voltage configuration unit and the monitoring data modulation unit are connected to a same input terminal of the monitoring current generation unit. An output terminal of the service data drive unit is connected to a current sink interface of the monitoring current generation unit, and is suitable for connecting a direct modulated laser. In the technical solution, a low-speed monitoring data signal is mixed into an average optical power signal of a high-speed service data light wave from the direct modulated laser, then is extracted from the received optical signal by a remote optical receiver, enabling the drive circuit to be remotely monitored.
