Abstract:
It is impossible to prevent the deterioration of the coupling efficiency between received light and a single mode fiber, and difficult to achieve a higher transmission rate, with respect to a free space optical communication receiver; therefore, a free space optical receiver according to an exemplary aspect of the present invention includes light collecting means for collecting laser light having propagated through a free space transmission path; mode controlling means for separating the laser light collected by the light collecting means into a plurality of propagation mode beams depending on a wave-front fluctuation of the laser light and outputting the propagation mode beams; a plurality of single mode transmission media for guiding the plurality of propagation mode beams, respectively; and a plurality of light receiving means for receiving the plurality of propagation mode beams respectively through the plurality of single mode transmission media.
Abstract:
A frequency offset compensation apparatus includes: first FFT means for performing a discrete-time Fourier transform of an input signal; second FFT means for performing a discrete-time Fourier transform; and offset compensation means for changing an order of output data of the first FFT means according to a frequency offset compensation amount, and rearranging the output data, and then inputting the output data to the second FFT means. This makes possible a frequency offset compensation without needing a new complex multiplier or a new memory in optical communication.
