Abstract
An optical receiver of the present invention comprises a photodiode receiving an optical signal and converting it into an electric signal, a signal edge detector generating an edge signal from the electric signal, a quantizing circuit generating a signal quantized on the basis of the edge signal, and a variable gain amplifier amplifying an output signal from the photodiode so that the amplitude of the edge signal may become constant, and has the structure of an output signal of the variable gain amplifier being inputted to the quantizing circuit. In addition, a spatial optical transmitter has the structure of making a transmission band twice by using polarized light mutually orthogonal.
