Optical signal transmitting device, optical signal transmitting method, frequency fluctuation suppressing device and frequency fluctuation suppressing system

摘要

An optical signal transmitting device includes direct modulators configured to be driven using electric signals of channels to generate directly-modulated optical signals of channels, a beat light source configured to generate beat light at a specific frequency spacing, subcarrier converters configured to modulate, using the beat light from the beat light source, the directly-modulated optical signals of the channels from the direct modulators to generate optical subcarrier modulation signals of channels, probe light sources configured to generate probe light of channels having frequencies that are different from frequencies of the directly-modulated optical signals of the channels, multiplexers configured to multiplex, for individual channels, the optical subcarrier modulation signals of the channels with the probe light of the channels, and nonlinear optical media configured to perform, for individual channels, optical cross modulation for the optical subcarrier modulation signals and the probe light, which are multiplexed, and transmit processed signals.
