Abstract:
An optical signal transmission apparatus includes a modulation unit which modulates a transmission signal, a training signal sequence generation unit which generates a plurality of signal sequences having power concentrated in a plurality of different frequency bands, at least one of an amplitude and a phase of the plurality of signal sequences being modulated, as a training signal sequence, a signal multiplexing unit which appends the training signal sequence to the transmission signal, and an electro-optical conversion unit which converts a signal sequence obtained by appending the training signal sequence to the transmission signal into an optical signal and transmits the optical signal.
Abstract:
There is provided a multi-flow optical transceiver that includes (a) a plurality of wavelength-tunable light sources, (b) a plurality of optical modulation units which modulates light with an input signal, (c) an optical multiplexing/demultiplexing switch which couples light from at least one of the wavelength-tunable light sources to at least one of the optical modulation units with any power, (d) an optical coupling unit which couples a plurality of lights, modulated by a plurality of the optical modulation units, to at least one waveguide, (e) at least one multiple carrier generating unit which generates multiple carries, arranged at equal frequency intervals, from light of the wavelength-tunable light source, and (f) a wavelength separation unit which branches the multiple carriers from the multiple carrier generating unit for each wavelength.
Abstract:
An increase in circuit scale is suppressed and a phase variation caused in a transmission path or the like is compensated for. An optical transmission system includes: a pilot symbol detection unit which detects a plurality of pilot symbols intermittently inserted into a received complex electric field signal that is obtained through coherent detection for a received optical signal; an error signal computation unit which calculates a complex electric field error signal indicating a phase variation at each pilot symbol based on the pilot symbols detected by the pilot symbol detection unit and a predetermined reference symbol; a compensation electric field signal generation unit which estimates a phase variation between the pilot symbols in the received complex electric field signal using filter processing based on the complex electric field error signal calculated by the error signal computation unit; and a phase noise compensation unit which performs phase compensation for the received complex electric field signal based on the phase variation between the pilot symbols estimated by the compensation electric field signal generation unit.
