Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is an optical transmission device including: a modulation signal generation unit that generates an intensity modulation signal and a continuous phase frequency shift keying (CPFSK) signal; a light source that outputs a signal modulated by the CPFSK signal; and an intensity modulation unit that performs intensity modulation for canceling an intensity modulation component generated by modulation by the CPFSK signal, and intensity modulation by the intensity modulation signal, on the signal output from the light source.
