Wavelength dispersion amount calculation apparatus and wavelength dispersion amount calculation method
Abstract:
A computation unit uses an assumed chromatic dispersion amount to compensate for dispersion of a coherently received optical signal and performs arithmetic of a signal power of the optical signal that is dispersion compensated. The computation unit performs computation of an evaluation function when a signal power and a delayed signal power obtained by applying a predetermined delay to the signal power satisfy a threshold condition. The evaluation function is a function for evaluating whether the assumed chromatic dispersion amount is a chromatic dispersion amount of the optical signal using the difference between the signal power and the delayed signal power. The chromatic dispersion amount calculation unit calculates a chromatic dispersion amount of the optical signal based on the computation result of the evaluation function by the computation unit when each of a plurality of different assumed chromatic dispersion amounts is used.
