A communication device includes: a switching unit connected to a transmission unit, a reception unit, a transmission port, and a reception port, the switching unit being set in a first state in which the transmission unit and the transmission port are connected and the reception unit and the reception port are connected or a second state in which the transmission unit and the reception port are connected and the reception unit and the transmission port are connected; a monitoring unit configured to monitor a light level of light input from the reception port or the transmission port; and a control unit configured to set the switching unit in the first state or the second state based on the light level monitored by the monitoring unit.

Communication device and communication system

A reception apparatus includes: a receiving unit configured to coherently detect an optical signal and output an electrical signal containing a modulated signal and a pilot signal; a first compensating unit configured to detect a frequency of the pilot signal by performing a DFT of the electrical signal, and determine and compensate for frequency error in the electrical signal based on a reference frequency; a frequency converting unit configured to convert the frequency of the pilot signal after the compensating such that the frequency of the pilot signal is lowered by the reference frequency; and a second compensating unit configured to determine frequency error in the modulated signal after the compensating by performing a DFT on the pilot signal after the frequency converting and detecting a frequency of the pilot signal after the frequency converting.
