Abstract
A reception unit, in which a range of an electric band is in a range from −Be to +Be and Be >B/2 is satisfied, receives signal light of a symbol rate B generated by optically modulating transmission data, performs digital coherent reception by interfering the received signal light with the local oscillation light generated by the local oscillation light source, converts the signal light into an electric digital signal, and output the digital signal, and a frequency offset compensation unit provided in a digital signal processing unit estimates a frequency offset amount generated in the digital signal in a range of −B/2 or more and +B/2 or less in accordance with a frequency difference between the signal light and the local oscillation light, and perform frequency offset compensation for the digital signal on the basis of the estimated frequency offset amount to compensate the frequency offset amount in a range of −B/2 or more and +B/2 or less and compensate so as to remain the frequency offset amount of an integral multiple of the symbol rate B when the frequency offset amount is in a range of less than −B/2 and a range of more than +B/2.
