OPTICAL TRANSMITTING DEVICE, FAULT DETERMINING METHOD AND FAULT DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

An optical transmitting device includes: a light source; an optical modulator configured to modulate light from the light source based on an electric signal corresponding to transmission data, and output an optical signal based on the electric signal; a measuring section configured to measure power of the optical signal in each of measurement bands which are different from with each other and narrower than a frequency band of the modulated optical signal; a determining section configured to determine whether or not the measured power is within a power range in each of the measurement bands; and an output section configured to output fault information indicating a fault in the optical modulator when the measured power is not within the power range.
