    Abstract: An optical receiver includes a first discriminator in which an optimal point of a slice level is set and that compares a received signal to the slice level and discriminately outputs the received signal; a second discriminator that is connected in parallel to the first discriminator, compares the received signal to a slice level, and discriminately outputs the received signal; and a computing device that variably controls the slice level of the first and the second discriminators, respectively. The computing device executes a first process of setting the slice level of the first discriminator to be a predetermined slice level, calculating a pseudo error rate obtained when the slice level of the second discriminator is caused to variably scan, and setting the slice level of the first discriminator within a range in which the error rate does not vary.

    Abstract: An optical device includes a generator, a light emitter, a modulator, an optical amplifier, a current source, a storage, and a controller. The generator generates an electric signal of a multilevel amplitude modulation method. The light emitter emits laser light. The modulator modulates the laser light using the electric signal and outputs an optical signal. The optical amplifier optically amplifies the modulated optical signal according to a drive current. The current source adjusts the drive current to be supplied to the optical amplifier. The storage previously stores an information with respect to input-output characteristics of the optical signal in the optical amplifier relative to drive current value of the drive current. The controller acquires, from the storage, the input-output characteristics corresponding to the drive current value of the drive current supplied to the optical amplifier and controls the electric signal based on the acquired input-output characteristics.

    Abstract: An optical receiver includes an optical amplifier that amplifies a received optical signal containing multiple wavelengths, a monitor circuit that monitors light intensities of the demultiplexed optical signal, a processor, and a memory having information representing a relationship between a total incident light intensity of the optical signal incident onto the optical amplifier and gains of the optical amplifier for the respective wavelengths. The processor repeats first calculation for determining the gains of the respective wavelengths from the memory, based on a drive current for driving the optical amplifier and an estimation value of the total incident light intensity of the optical signal, second calculation for calculating the incident light intensities of the respective wavelengths of the optical signal based on the gains and the monitored light intensities, and third calculation to calculate the total incident light intensity of the optical signal, until the total incident light intensity converges.
