Abstract
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an optical signal demodulator including an optical reception unit, an AD conversion unit, a digital signal processing unit, and a signal determination unit, in which the signal determination unit includes: a spectrum shaping filter processing unit that receives a reception signal sequence of the digital signal from the digital signal processing unit and outputs a value obtained by performing a convolution operation on the reception signal sequence which is received; a transmission line simulation filter processing unit that outputs a value obtained by performing a convolution operation on a candidate signal sequence which is determined based on a symbol transition of the reception signal; an error information acquisition unit that acquires error information between the value output from the spectrum shaping filter processing unit and the value output from the transmission line simulation filter processing unit; and a bit determination unit that determines a value of a bit included in the symbol transmitted by a transmission unit based on the error information acquired by the error information acquisition unit.
