Abstract
A light-receiving device includes: a light guide plate that is a transparent member having, as main surfaces, a first surface and a second surface facing each other and has an emission end formed on at least one end portion of the light guide plate; a wave plate that is disposed on the first surface of the light guide plate and converts an optical signal of circularly polarized light into linearly polarized light; a hologram layer that is disposed on the second surface of the light guide plate and guides a traveling direction of the optical signal converted into the linearly polarized light toward the emission end of the light guide plate; and a light receiver that receives the optical signal emitted from the emission end of the light guide plate and converts the received optical signal into an electrical signal.
