A local oscillation light source outputs locally-oscillated light. An light receiving unit phase-separates an input optical signal by making the optical signal interfere with the locally-oscillated light and outputs an analog electric signal corresponding to the phase-separated optical signal. An analog-to-digital converting unit converts the analog electric signal into a digital signal. A processing unit performs digital signal processing by using the digital signal. A failure detection unit determines whether or not the optical signal is being input to the light receiving unit, or detects a failure in the light receiving unit, the analog-to-digital converting unit or the processing unit based on light intensity of the optical signal, whether or not the analog electric signal can be generated in the light receiving unit, and an amplitude of the analog electric signal output from the light receiving unit. |
