Abstract
An optical transmitter includes: a bit converter that processes input bits in units of four bits, and generates an output bit sequence having eight bits based on one of a first conversion table, a second conversion table, and a third conversion table; and a symbol mapper that allocates the output bit sequence to an X-polarization and to a Y-polarization of each of two consecutive time slots. The bit converter performs a process of generating the output bit sequence based on the first conversion table, the second conversion table, and the third conversion table. The bit converter performs the process such that a sequence of two most significant bits and a sequence of two least significant bits of the output bit sequence are respectively associated with values that are allocated respectively to two constellation points having phases different by 180 degrees on a complex plane.
