Abstract: A signal receiving apparatus includes at least one signal separating apparatus that separates a specific signal from a plurality of received signals. Each of the at least one signal separating apparatus includes a spatial filtering unit that separates at least one equalized signal and a decision signal outputting unit that generates a first decision signal by deciding the equalized signal and outputs the generated first decision signal. The spatial filtering unit separates the at least one equalized signal by multiplying at least the plurality of received signals among the plurality of received signals and either the first decision signal output from the decision signal outputting unit or a second decision signal output from another signal separating apparatus by predetermined weighting coefficients.

Abstract: An optically amplified repeater system includes optical transmission paths, a multi-channel optical amplifier, one or more Raman amplification pumping light sources, and a wavelength multiplexer. The multi-channel optical amplifier includes K simultaneous pumping light sources, N optical amplification media, and one or more optical couplers, and simultaneously amplifies, with the K simultaneous pumping light sources, light intensities of optical signals that pass through the N optical amplification media and propagate through the optical transmission paths. Light intensities of the wavelength band of the optical signals is Raman amplified by the Raman amplification pumping light. A light intensity of the Raman amplification pumping light output from the one or more Raman amplification pumping light sources is determined in accordance with characteristic differences between the optical signals passing through the optical transmission paths.
