Abstract
It is difficult in a free space optical receiver to satisfy both of the stable receiving and the highly sensitive receiving; therefore, a free space optical receiver according to an exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a light collecting means for collecting laser light having propagated through a free space transmission path; a multimode light generating means for receiving input of the laser light collected by the light collecting means, exciting multimode light, and outputting multimode propagation light including a plurality of propagation mode light beams with a number smaller than a number of multimode light beams possible to be excited; and a mode separating means for separating the multimode propagation light into the plurality of propagation mode light beams and outputting the plurality of propagation mode light beams.
