Optical transmitting system, optical transmitting apparatus, optical receiving apparatus and transfer function estimating method

Abstract

An optical transmission system includes an optical transmitter and an optical receiver. The optical transmitter includes a low speed signal generation unit configured to generate, based on an input signal of a transmission data sequence and a signal obtained by cyclically shifting a spectrum of the input signal, a plurality of low speed signals, a high speed signal generation unit configured to digital-to-analog convert and synthesize the plurality of low speed signals to generate a high speed signal, and an optical modulation unit configured to transmit an optical signal obtained by modulation of the high speed signal to a transmission path. The optical receiver includes a reception unit configured to receive the optical signal from the transmission path and output the high speed signal obtained from the optical signal that is received, an optical-receiver-side high speed signal compensation unit configured to compensate, based on the high speed signal output by the reception unit and a signal obtained by cyclically shifting a spectrum of the high speed signal, for the high speed signal, and a reception data decoding unit configured to decode the high speed signal compensated by the optical-receiver-side high speed signal compensation unit to restore binary information included in the optical signal transmitted by the optical transmitter.
