Abstract
Disclosed herein is an optical receiver including: a light receiving element configured to have an anode and a cathode and generate a photocurrent dependent on received signal light; a current-voltage conversion circuit configured to be connected to the anode of the light receiving element and convert the photocurrent to a voltage signal; and a capacitive passive element configured to have a first electrode and a second electrode. The cathode of the light receiving element is connected to the first electrode of the capacitive passive element, and the second electrode of the capacitive passive element is connected to a reference potential of the current-voltage conversion circuit and the second electrode is not coupled to objects other than a reference potential terminal of the current-voltage conversion circuit.
