Abstract
An optical reception device including: a local light transmission unit configured to generate a plurality of local lights having different wavelengths, select a local light having a wavelength that is close to the wavelength of a received optical signal from among the plurality of generated local lights having different wavelengths, and transmit the selected local light to a coherent receiver; a demultiplexing unit configured to demultiplex a received optical signal and transmit the demultiplexed optical signal to the coherent receiver via a first path; and a wavelength detection unit configured to input the optical signal demultiplexed by the demultiplexing unit via a second path, split the input optical signal into different paths according to wavelengths by using a wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer, and output, to the local light transmission unit, a control signal for causing the local light transmission unit to output a local light having a frequency that corresponds to a path in which the optical signal is included.
