    Abstract: The disclosed coherent optical receiver includes a local light source; a 90-degree hybrid circuit; an optoelectronic converter; an analog-to-digital converter; a skew addition unit; and a FFT operation unit. The 90-degree hybrid circuit makes multiplexed signal light interfere with local light from the local light source, and outputs multiple optical signals separated into a plurality of signal components. The optoelectronic converter detects the optical signal and outputs a detected electrical signal. The analog-to-digital converter digitizes the detected electrical signal and outputs a detected digital signal. The skew addition unit adds to the detected digital signal an additional skew amount whose absolute value is equal to, whose sign is opposite to a skew amount of a difference in propagation delay in each lane connected to each output channel of the 90-degree hybrid circuit. The FFT operation unit performs a fast Fourier transform on the output from the skew addition unit.

    Abstract: In the optical communication device and the optical communication system using DPSK modulation whose cost is low, whose size is small and whose power consumption is low, the N:1 multiplexer 125 generates a serial signal by multiplexing a parallel signal coded by the DPSK modulation coding units 115˜117 bit by bit on a time division basis. The electric-phase modulation optical converter 127 converts a serial signal into a phase modulation light. The N-bit delay interferometer 132 executes DPSK decoding with respect to a phase modulation light by comparison with an N-bit preceding optical signal. The optical-electric signal converter 134 converts a decoded intensity modulation light into an electric signal. The N:1 demultiplexer 136 divides an electric signal converted by the optical-electric signal converter 134 into a number N of signals bit by bit on a time division basis.

    Abstract: Transmission delay time measurement is performed on a signal propagation path between respective points of two printed circuit boards connected by a coaxial cable. Measurement is made of a frequency-domain response of the cable and a first time-domain response of the propagation path at its sending point and a second time-domain response of the propagation path at its receiving point. From the first time-domain response and the frequency-domain response, estimation is made of a third time-domain response of the propagation path that would be observed at the receiving point if there is no waveform distortion on the surface of the printed circuit boards. Time-domain correlation is calculated between the second and third time-domain responses. A first delay time is determined from the estimated time-domain response and a second delay time is determined from the correlation. The first and second delay times are summed to yield the transmission delay time of the propagation path.
