Abstract

An optical receiver for receiving an optical signal that transmits a first data signal and a second data signal, including: an optical front-end configured to generate a digital signal that represents the optical signal; a detector configured to detect a state of the optical signal by using the digital signal and output state information that represents the state of the optical signal; a state controller configured to control the digital signal on the basis of the state information in order to recover the first data signal; and a data recovery configured to recover the second data signal on the basis of the state information.
