Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A signal processing device that processes a digital signal formed by sampling an electric signal using a clock signal, the electric signal being obtained by converting an optical signal inputted from a transmission line, the signal processing device includes: a first chromatic dispersion compensator that compensates a waveform distortion caused by a chromatic dispersion with respect to the digital signal; a first nonlinear optical effect compensator that compensates a waveform distortion caused by a nonlinear optical effect with respect to one signal outputted from the first chromatic dispersion compensator; and a controller that detects a phase fluctuation of other signal outputted from the first chromatic dispersion compensator, and controls the clock signal based on the detected phase fluctuation.
First claim

What is claimed is: 1. A signal processing device that processes a digital signal formed by sampling an electric signal using a clock signal, the electric signal being obtained by converting an optical signal inputted from a transmission line, the signal processing device comprising: a first chromatic dispersion compensator that branches the digital signal into two signals, compensates a waveform distortion caused by a chromatic dispersion with respect to one of the two signals, and compensates the waveform distortion caused by the chromatic dispersion with respect to other one of the two signals by using a compensation quantity corresponding to a compensation quantity of the waveform distortion caused by the chromatic dispersion with respect to the one of the two signals; a first nonlinear optical effect compensator that compensates a waveform distortion caused by a nonlinear optical effect with respect to the one of the two signals outputted from the first chromatic dispersion compensator; and a controller that detects a phase fluctuation of the other one of the two signals outputted from the first chromatic dispersion compensator, and controls the clock signal based on the detected phase fluctuation. 2. The signal processing device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising: a second chromatic dispersion compensator that compensates the waveform distortion caused by the chromatic dispersion with respect to a signal outputted from the first nonlinear optical effect compensator; and a second nonlinear optical effect compensator that compensates the waveform distortion caused by the nonlinear optical effect with respect to a signal outputted from the second chromatic dispersion compensator. 3. A signal processing method that processes a digital signal formed by sampling an electric signal using a clock signal, the electric signal being obtained by converting an optical signal inputted from a transmission line, the signal processing method comprising: branching the digital signal into two signals; compensating a waveform distortion caused by a chromatic dispersion and a nonlinear optical effect in the transmission line with respect to one of the two signals; compensating a waveform distortion caused by a chromatic dispersion with respect to the other one of the two signals, by using a compensation quantity corresponding to a compensation quantity of the waveform distortion caused by the chromatic dispersion with respect to the one of the two signals; detecting a phase fluctuation of the other one of the two signals whose waveform distortion has been compensated; and controlling the clock signal based on the detected phase fluctuation.
