Abstract: The present invention provides an optical phase synchronization method characterized by involving applying a small phase modulation signal (dither signal) to local oscillator light, acquiring an error signal that is dependent on a phase shift, and controlling the phase shift. The present invention further provides an optical phase synchronization method characterized by involving inducing a specific phase pattern in dummy pulses in an optical resonator using injection light, applying phase modulation to the local oscillator light, and thereby acquiring a part of the measurement result of the dummy pulses as the error signal. The present invention is further characterized by arranging calculation pulses and phase synchronization dummy pulses in a distributed manner (for example, alternately) and increasing a pulse width using a narrow band electrical filter.
