    摘要: A method for upgrading a wavelength division multiplex (WDM) optical communication system includes replacing an installed transmitter operable to transmit a data stream at a defined bit rate with a return-to-zero M-ary phased shift keying (RZ-mPSK) transmitter operable to transmit the data stream at the defined bit rate and at least one other data stream at the defined bit rate together in an RZ-mPSK signal having a combined bit rate at least double the defined bit rate and a symbol rate equal to the defined bit rate. An installed receiver operable to receive the data stream at the defined bit rate is replaced with an RZ-mPSK receiver operable to recover the data stream at the defined bit rate and the at least one other data stream at the defined bit rate from the RZ-mPSK signal.

    摘要: A coherent optical receiver of the invention combines local oscillator light having orthogonal polarization components in which the optical frequencies are different to each other, and received signal light, in an optical hybrid circuit, and then photoelectrically converts this in two differential photodetectors. Then this is converted to a digital signal in an AD conversion circuit, and computation processing is executed in a digital computing circuit using the digital signal, to estimate received data. At this time, the optical frequency difference between the orthogonal polarization components of the local oscillator light is set so as to be smaller than two times the signal light band width, and larger than a spectrum line width of the signal light source and the local oscillator light source. As a result, it is possible to realize a small size polarization independent coherent optical receiver that is capable of receiving high speed signal light.

    摘要: An interferometer comprises a delay element and a phase shift element. The delay element delays an optical DQPSK signal by one-symbol time. The phase shift element shifts the optical DQPSK signal by π/8. A pair of photodiodes converts each of a pair of optical signals output from the interferometer into an electric signal. A photodetector circuit converts differential current obtained by a pair of the photodiodes into voltage and outputs as a detection signal. A first decision circuit outputs one-bit information based on the voltage of the detection signal. A second decision circuit outputs one-bit information based on a squared value of the voltage of the detection signal.
