Abstract
An optical receiver includes a demultiplexer configured to demultiplex, for each channel, optical signals input through a plurality of channels, a photoelectric converter having a number of light receivers corresponding to the plurality of channels, the photoelectric converter being configured to convert an optical signal into an electric signal for each channel, a monitor circuit configured to monitor, for each channel, an amplitude characteristic of the optical signal converted into the electric signal by the photoelectric converter, and a control circuit configured to control, based on a monitored result of the monitor circuit, a bias voltage to be applied to the light receiver such that an amount of variability in the amplitude characteristic between the channels is minimum or falls within a predetermined range.
