SYNCHRONOUS OPTICAL SIGNAL GENERATING DEVICE AND SYNCHRONOUS OPTICAL SIGNAL GENERATING METHOD

摘要

A synchronous optical signal generation device includes: an optical phase detector that compares the phase of a reference optical signal with a phase of an optical beat signal to generate a phase error signal; a shaping mechanism that shapes the phase error signal; and a voltage controlled optical signal generator that generates an optical beat signal based on the shaped phase error signal and that outputs the optical beat signal while feeding the optical beat signal back to the phase detector.
