Abstract: [Problem] To provide a camera with high sensitivity even if an output to the outside is weak. [Solution] This camera includes a light source 3, a demultiplexing unit 5 which demultiplexes light from the light source 3 into first demultiplexed light and second demultiplexed light, a first modulator 7 which modulates the first demultiplexed light to obtain a modulated signal, an emission unit 9 which emits the modulation signal modulated by the first modulator 7, and a phase imparting means 11 which imparts a plurality of types of phase shifts to the second demultiplexed light to obtain phase-imparted local light. The camera further includes a multiplexing unit 13 which multiplexes light incident from the outside of the camera and the phase-imparted local light and obtains multiplexed light, a light receiving element 17 which detects the multiplexed light, and includes a light receiving unit 15, and an analysis processing unit 19 which, on the basis of the multiplexed light received by the light receiving element 17, analyzes the position of a subject or the distance between the subject and the camera.

Abstract: To provide an optical comb generation device and an optical comb signal generation method capable of stably generating an optical comb signal having an optical frequency interval exceeding the drive electric signal band of a modulator. When light output from a first optical modulator 5 and a second optical modulator 7 is multiplexed in a multiplexing unit 13, the first optical modulator 5 and the second optical modulator 7 cancel the even-ordered components or odd-ordered components included in the light output from the first optical modulator 5 and the second optical modulator 7 and, when light output from a third optical modulator 9 and a fourth optical modulator 11 is multiplexed in the multiplexing unit 13, the third optical modulator 9 and the fourth optical modulator 11 cancel the even-ordered components or odd-ordered components included in the light output from the third optical modulator 9 and the fourth optical modulator 11, wherein the same components cancelled in the light output from the first optical modulator 5 and the second optical modulator 7 are cancelled.

Abstract: To provide a method and device capable of easily measuring the CMRR vs. frequency characteristics of an optical receiver. Light having a measurement frequency (ω [hz]) is split into two different paths, and a first optical two-tone signal, which is signal light and has a frequency difference (ω−Δω [hz]), and a second optical two-tone signal, which is local light and has a frequency difference (ω-Δω [hz]), are obtained and input into a coherent receiver to be measured, wherein electrical signals output from the receiver are measured to obtain both the ratio of the intensity of a signal component having the frequency ω−Δω [hz] to the intensity of a signal component having the frequency ω [hz], which corresponds to the CMRR on the signal light side, and the ratio of the intensity of a signal component having the frequency ω+Δω [hz] to the intensity of the signal component having the frequency ω [hz], which corresponds to the CMRR on the local light side.
