Abstract
It is provided a polarization multiplexing optical transceiver including a polarization multiplexing optical transceiver, a polarization multiplexing optical receiver, a transmission side polarization state control unit and a reception side polarization state control unit. The polarization multiplexing optical receiver includes: a polarization demultiplexing unit; a plurality of information signal reconstruction units configured to receive the reconstructed polarization component on the transmission side as an input, and reconstruct and extract information signals; and an information signal coupling unit configured to one of couple and select the information signals output by the plurality of information signal reconstruction units and output the resultant under control of the reception side polarization state control unit. The polarization multiplexing optical receiver is configured to control, in the single polarization reception state, the polarization demultiplexing unit and at least a part of the plurality of information signal reconstruction units to transition to a power saving mode.
