Abstract
An O/E conversion element converts an input NRZ optical signal into an electric signal. A clock recovery circuit recovers a clock signal from the electric signal obtained by the O/E conversion element. A phase modulator applies phase modulation to the NRZ optical signal, using the recovered clock signal. An intensity modulator applies intensity modulation to the NRZ optical signal, using the recovered clock signal. A dispersion medium compensates for a frequency chirp of an optical signal output from the intensity modulator.
