Title:
OPTICAL RECEIVER AND OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/004890
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An optical receiver (300) uses two optical delay detectors (223) (which have been set such that the delay times T are equal to symbol time and the phase differences are zero and 90 degrees) to receive an optical multilevel signal (215), and the output signals are A/D converted, thereafter subjected to retiming processes, and then subjected to a differential phase detection, thereby detecting a differential phase at a symbol center time point. In the receiver, the detected differential phase is integrated for each symbol and thereafter combined with an amplitude component obtained from a separately disposed optical intensity receiver, thereby reproducing an optical electric field. Thereafter, a wavelength dispersion compensation circuit (231) of a time interval T is used to compensate for the wavelength dispersion of the transmission path. Moreover, an electric or optical Nyquist filter may be inserted to perform a band limitation, thereby enhancing the wavelength dispersion compensation effect.
