Optical receiver, optical reception device, and correction method for optical received intensity
In the optical receiver available for the RZ-DPSK modulation system, the difference in the received intensity due to the difference in the intensity or optical path of the optical signal cannot be corrected automatically, therefore, an optical receiver according to an exemplary aspect of the invention includes a first photodiode receiving a normal phase optical signal from a first output of a 1-bit delayed interferometer and outputting a positive signal; a second photodiode receiving a reversed phase optical signal from a second output of the 1-bit delayed interferometer and outputting a complementary signal; a differential transimpedance amplifier inputting the positive signal and the complementary signal and including a closed feedback loop for each input of the positive signal and the complementary signal; a level adjustment unit adjusting a signal level in the closed feedback loop; a photoelectric current detection unit detecting a photoelectric current generated in each of the first photodiode and the second photodiode; and wherein the level adjustment unit adjusts the signal level on the basis of an output of the photoelectric current detection unit.
