Abstract

An optical reception device 20 includes an electric signal generation unit 200, a linear compensation unit 301, a nonlinear compensation unit 300, and a second coefficient setting unit 400. The electric signal generation unit 200 generates an electric signal based on an optical signal received over a transmission path 30. The linear compensation unit 301 performs processing for compensating for dispersion that occurs on optical signal in the transmission path 30 to the electric signal, using a first filter coefficient. The second coefficient setting unit 400 determines a second filter coefficient for compensating for a nonlinear effect that occurs on the optical signal in the transmission path 30, using an amount of dispersion that occurs in the transmission path 30. The nonlinear compensation unit 300 performs processing for compensating the electric signal for the nonlinear effect, using the second filter coefficient that is determined by the second coefficient setting unit 400.
