Abstract

Provided is an optical transmission device including: a modulation signal generation unit that generates an intensity modulation signal and a continuous phase frequency shift keying (CPFSK) signal; a light source that outputs a signal modulated by the CPFSK signal; and an intensity modulation unit that performs intensity modulation for canceling an intensity modulation component generated by modulation by the CPFSK signal, and intensity modulation by the intensity modulation signal, on the signal output from the light source.

Claims (17)

1 . An optical transmission device comprising:

a modulation signal generator configured to generate an intensity modulation signal and a continuous phase frequency shift keying (CPFSK) signal;

a light source configured to output a signal modulated by the CPFSK signal; and

an intensity modulator configured to perform intensity modulation for canceling an intensity modulation component generated by modulation by the CPFSK signal, and intensity modulation by the intensity modulation signal, on the signal output from the light source.

2 . The optical transmission device according to claim 1 , further comprising a modulation degree changer configured to change a modulation degree of the intensity modulation signal.

3 . An optical communication system comprising:

an optical transmission device including:

a modulation signal generator configured to generate an intensity modulation signal and a continuous phase frequency shift keying (CPFSK) signal;

a light source configured to output a signal modulated by the CPFSK signal; and

an intensity modulator configured to perform intensity modulation for canceling an intensity modulation component generated by modulation by the CPFSK signal, and intensity modulation by the intensity modulation signal, on the signal output from the light source; and

an optical reception device including:

a receiver configured to perform polarization separation and phase separation on a signal received from the optical transmission device; and

a signal processor configured to decode the intensity modulation signal and the CPFSK signal on a basis of signals subjected to the polarization separation and the phase separation.

4 . An optical transmission method comprising:

generating an intensity modulation signal and a continuous phase frequency shift keying (CPFSK) signal;

outputting a signal modulated by the CPFSK signal; and

performing intensity modulation for canceling an intensity modulation component generated by modulation by the CPFSK signal, and intensity modulation by the intensity modulation signal, on the signal modulated by the CPFSK signal.
