Abstract

Disclosed is a method for generating a duobinary signal which has the step of: modulating individually an intensity and a phase of a carrier wave. Also disclosed is a duobinary-manner optical transmitter which has: a laser device which outpus signal light; an optical intensity modulator which intensity-modulates the signal light according to a first data signal generated by dividing a data signal into two signals; a precoder which inputs a second data signal generated by dividing the data signal into two signals; and an optical phase modulator which phase-modulates the intensity-modulated signal light according to a signal which is obtained delaying 0.5 bit an output signal of the precoder.
