Abstract

In an optical transfer system, an optical transmission unit generates an optical signal in which respective polarization components are alternately present on a time axis, a time period during which the respective polarization components are simultaneously present on the time axis is substantially zero, and a symbol repetition cycle of optical signals of the respective polarization components becomes Ts, an optical reception unit causes an interference between local oscillation light and a received optical signal and converts an interfered optical signal to an electric signal, and a received electric-signal processing unit performs analog-digital conversion of an electric signal, elimination of a delay difference of Ts/2 between the respective polarized signal components, and adaptive equalization of a distortion other than the delay difference.
