Abstract
An optical communication system is provided in which a serial/parallel converting unit outputs bit sequences of sequence groups a number of which is determined by a logarithmic value and a bit sequence of a highest-order sequence group, a converting unit converts the bit sequence of the sequence group input to the converting unit into a bit sequence for which a probability of occurrence of 0 or a probability of occurrence of 1 is a predetermined probability of occurrence, a selecting unit acquires a bit sequence for which the probability of occurrence is converted by a converting unit higher in order than the converting unit for the selecting unit, and selects an order of output of a symbol to other selecting units in the sequence groups higher in order than the selecting unit in accordance with the acquired bit sequence, a multiplication unit multiplies a value representing the symbol selected by a highest-order selecting unit, by a number in accordance with the bit sequence of the highest order sequence group, a transmission unit transmits an optical signal based on a result of the multiplication by the number, an optical receiver includes a reception unit and a demodulation unit, and the reception unit receives the optical signal, and performs demodulation processing.
