Optical receiver and receiving method
Abstract:
A local oscillation light output unit; a phase adjustment unit; a polarization control unit; a multiplexing unit; a photoelectric conversion unit; a demodulation unit; and a control unit. The phase adjustment unit adjusts the phase of local oscillation light. The polarization control unit controls polarization rotation of an optical signal. The multiplexing unit multiplexes the local oscillation light output from the phase adjustment unit with the optical signal output from the polarization control unit. The demodulation unit performs a demodulation process based on an electric signal obtained through conversion performed by the photoelectric conversion unit. The control unit, on the basis of information about the reception status of the optical signal, controls the execution of at least one of the phase adjustment of the local oscillation light in the phase adjustment unit and the polarization rotation of the optical signal in the polarization control unit.
