| 摘要 |
A polarization mode dispersion (PMD) suppressing apparatus wherein a first polarization controller adjusts a polarization of an input signal, thereby generating a first polarization adjusted signal; a variable DGD compensator gives a DGD to the first polarization adjusted signal, thereby generating a first PMD compensated signal; a second polarization controller adjusts a polarization of the first PMD compensated signal, thereby generating a second polarization adjusted signal; a polarization beam splitter produces a higher-order PMD suppressed signal forming one of two orthogonal components of the second polarization adjusted signal and a monitor signal forming the other component; an intensity detector generates an optical carrier intensity signal reflecting the intensity of an optical carrier wavelength component; and a control signal generator controls the first polarization controller, etc., based on the optical carrier intensity signal such that the optical carrier wavelength component intensity becomes minimal.
