Abstract

See full text

A wavelength dispersion amount estimation method, a wavelength dispersion compensation circuit, and a receiving device which rapidly estimate and set a wavelength dispersion amount to compensate with high accuracy at the receiving device which compensates waveform distortion at an optical fiber transmission path. A wavelength dispersion compensation circuit includes an analog-digital converter which converts an optical analog waveform received from the optical fiber transmission path to a digital signal, a digital signal processor which compensates waveform distortion of the digital signal output from the analog-digital converter due to wavelength dispersion at the optical fiber transmission path with a dispersion compensation amount estimated with the wavelength dispersion amount estimation method, and a symbol clock extractor which extracts a symbol arrival timing clock of received data contained in the digital signal output from the analog-digital converter and outputs strength of the symbol arrival timing clock as the clock detection value.
