Abstract
A digital coherent receiver includes: an adaptive equalizer configured to execute, using a first tap coefficient, adaptive equalization processing on a digital signal that corresponds to a signal; a first coefficient updating unit configured to update the first tap coefficient based on the digital signal on which the adaptive equalization processing has not been executed, the digital signal on which the adaptive equalization processing has been executed, and a first step size; a second coefficient updating unit configured to update a second tap coefficient based on the digital signal on which the adaptive equalization processing has not been executed, the digital signal on which the adaptive equalization processing has been executed, and a second step size; and a control unit configured to detect a fluctuation speed of a state of polarization of the digital signal based on the second tap coefficient, and change the first tap coefficient to the updated second tap coefficient if it is determined that the fluctuation speed is higher than or equal to a speed threshold.
