Abstract
In a receiver, a reception front end receives a polarization-scrambled polarization multiplexed optical signal, polarization-separates the received polarization multiplexed optical signal, and converts each signal into quantized signals. A digital signal processor samples the quantized signals, demodulates the signals by using a polarization separation digital signal processing algorithm, and outputs demodulated signals. When phase and amplitude variations of the demodulated signals are greater than a predetermined value, a control circuit causes the digital signal processor to interrupt processing using the polarization separation digital signal processing algorithm, changes an initial value of a filter coefficient, and then causes the digital signal processor to start the processing using the polarization separation digital signal processing algorithm.
