The dual carrier generator generates the first and second optical carriers. The serialization unit multiplexes input signals into two pairs of I and Q signals. The first modulator modulates one pair of I and Q signals in the use of the phase of the first optical carrier. The second modulator modulates the other pair of I and Q signals in the use of the phase of the second optical carrier.
