Summary:Influence of polarization mode dispersion, occurring in an optical fiber is mitigated by means of polarization scrambling, differential group delay which a received optical signal has is optically suppressed; the optical signal in which differential group delay is thus suppressed is converted into an electric signal; and error correcting processing is carried out on the electric signal obtained, a jitter amplitude in the received optical signal is suppressed, influence of which to a jitter tolerance increases due to increase in speed of the polarization scrambling.
