Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, a coherent optical receiving system has a fundamental problem that reception cannot be performed when the polarization state of the local oscillator light output from the local oscillator light source provided for the optical receiver is orthogonal to the polarization state of the received signal light
[0019] Therefore, the conventional coherent optical receiver in the system (III) needs a circuit whose bandwidth is three times or more (that is, 120Gbps or more) of the signal bandwidth of the signal light of 40Gbps, and cannot realize the fast signal light of 40Gbps or more.

Abstract

The invention provides a coherent light receiving system. In order to reduce the size and simplify the structure of a coherent light receiver, the coherent light receiver includes an optical mixer for coupling local oscillator light and reception signal light, a photoelectric converter for photoelectrically converting light coupled in the optical mixer, a reception data processing unit for extracting reception data included in the reception signal light through digital signal processing for processing the coupled signal converted into an electrical signal by the photoelectric converter, based on a first clock, and a modulator for modulating the local oscillator light or the reception signal light inputted to the optical mixer respectively, by using a clock phase-synchronized with the first clock used for the digital signal processing in the reception data processing unit.

Background technique [0002] In order to realize ultra-fast optical transmission systems of 40Gbps or more, optical receiver-transmitters based on multi-valued phase modulation such as RZ-DQPSK (Return to Zero Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) have been developed. There is a need to further improve the optical noise tolerance of optical receiver-transmitters based on multivalued phase modulation, and to reduce the optical receiver-transmitter the size of. As a means of realizing it, coherent light receiving systems preferably include, for example, homodyne (homodyne) systems, intradyne (intradyne) systems, and heterodyne (heterodyne) systems, and their applications have been studied (for examp...
