Abstract
An optical receiver including an optical divider to divide a signal light from an optical transmission line into two portions, a first and a second dispersion compensators, each dispersion compensator having variable dispersion compensation to compensate chromatic dispersions of each of the two portions of signal light output from the optical divider, and a data demodulator to demodulate a data carried by a signal light output from the first dispersion compensator. The optical receiver further includes an optical autocorrelator to operate on a signal light output from the second dispersion compensator and a controller to control the second dispersion compensator to increase autocorrelation of the optical autocorrelator, and to control the first dispersion compensator according to the result of said controlling the second dispersion compensator.
