Optical receiver and optical reception method |
摘要 |
An optical receiver includes: an interference unit generating a first interference light signal (ILS1) and a second interference light signal (ILS2) with an approximately inverse phase to that of the first interference light signal, by causing a received light signal to interfere with local oscillator light; a first interference light subtraction unit generating a first interference light subtraction signal (ILSS1) representing the difference between signals obtained by photoelectric conversion of ILS1 and a local oscillator light proportional signal having light intensity based on the light intensity of the local oscillator light; a second interference light subtraction unit generating a second interference light subtraction signal (ILSS2) representing the difference between a signal obtained by photoelectric conversion of ILS2 and the signal obtained by photoelectric conversion of the local oscillator light proportional signal; and a difference output unit outputting a signal representing the difference between ILSS1 and ILSS2. |

1. An optical receiver comprising:
an interference unit which generates a first interference light signal and a second interference light signal with an approximately inverse phase to that of the first interference light signal, by causing a received light signal to interfere with local oscillator light; a first interference light subtraction unit which generates a first interference light subtraction signal representing the difference between a signal obtained by photoelectric conversion of the first interference light signal and a signal obtained by photoelectric conversion of a light signal having a light intensity based on the light intensity of the local oscillator light; a second interference light subtraction unit which generates a second interference light subtraction signal representing the difference between a signal obtained by photoelectric conversion of the second interference light signal and a signal obtained by photoelectric conversion of the light signal having the light intensity based on the light intensity of the local oscillator light; and a difference output unit which outputs a signal representing the difference between the first interference light subtraction signal and the second interference light subtraction signal. |
