Abstract
An optical receiver receives a wavelength multiplexed optical signal including wavelength channels. A superimposition signal is superimposed by frequency modulation on each of the wavelength channels. The optical receiver includes: an optical filter that filters the wavelength multiplexed optical signal; a filter controller that controls a wavelength of a transmission band of the optical filter; a photo detector that generates an intensity signal representing a change in the intensity of an output light of the optical filter; an signal detector that detects, according to the intensity signal, a superimposition signal superimposed on a specified wavelength channel. The filter controller controls the wavelength of the transmission band so that the amplitude of the intensity signal is larger, and then controls the wavelength of the transmission band so that the number of errors in the superimposition signal detected by the signal detector is reduced.
