Abstract

In-phase signal light and quadrature-phase signal light obtained by mixing input light and local light with each other are converted into digital signals. The quality of a signal to be received is monitored with reference to information obtained through digital signal processing, and the power ratio between the input signal light and the local light that are to be mixed with each other are controlled on the basis of the result of the monitoring.
