Abstract: An optical transmitter generates symbols for transmission by applying a predetermined coding method to each of m-valued transmission symbols generated from transmission data, generates signal light by performing optical modulation on the basis of the symbols for transmission, and transmits the signal light. An optical receiver generates a series of digital signals from the received signal light, detects coded symbols by applying predetermined digital signal processing to the series of digital signals, decodes the m-valued transmission symbols from the detected coded symbols, and restores the transmission data from the decoded m-valued transmission symbols. An operation based on the predetermined coding method performs nonlinear coding that generates the coded symbols by generating m-valued intermediate symbols from the m-valued transmission symbols, the nonlinear coding restricting transitions between series of the coded symbols in time series by assigning bit information to a state transition between coded symbols adjacent in time series and making a number of states that each of the coded symbols can take on greater than a number of states of the m-valued transmission symbols.

Abstract: An encoding device includes an encoding unit, DA conveners, light sources, intensity modulators, and wavelength multiplexers. The encoding unit adds (NM/2) to an encoded signal having a negative minimum value in a range of the encoded signal among encoded signals of N channels of (NM+1) values obtained by calculating an inner product of a Hadamard matrix of N rows and N columns and a matrix having elements of N intensity signals of (M+1) values. The DA converters of the channels convert the encoded signals of the channels from digital signals into electrical analog signals. The light sources output light of wavelengths for use in the channels. The light intensity modulators of the channels intensity-modulate the light output from the light sources with the encoded signals converted into the electrical analog signals by the DA converters. The wavelength multiplexer outputs a wavelength-multiplexed signal obtained by wavelength-multiplexing the light intensity-modulated by the light intensity modulators.

Abstract: A tentative decision is made for symbols on the basis of a received signal and a decision threshold, and a tentative decision signal including a sequence of the symbols is output. A scale value indicating a rate of increase or reduction of the received signal or a threshold change rate indicating a degree of change in the decision threshold is updated so that an appearance frequency of each of symbols included in the tentative decision signal matches an appearance frequency of each of symbols in a reference signal obtained by modulating a transmitted signal with a modulation method used in transmission which is shared between a transmitting side and a receiving side, and an SN ratio is calculated using the scale value or the threshold change rate when a degree of agreement between the appearance frequencies is within a predetermined permissible range. When the scale value is updated, a tentative decision is made for the symbols on the basis of the received signal increased or reduced by the updated scale value and the decision threshold, and when the threshold change rate is updated, the tentative decision for the symbols is made on the basis of the received signal and the decision threshold to which the updated threshold change rate is applied.
