An optical receiver includes interference means 2 for branching the optical signal modulated in a DQPSK manner into two light beams, delaying at least one branched light beam so that two branched light beams have a predetermined phase difference, rotating the polarization plane of at least one branched light beam so that the polarization planes of the two branched light beams are orthogonal to each other, and coupling the two branched light beams, light separation adjusting means 3 to 5 for separating the output light beam from the interference means and adjusting the polarization planes of the separated light beams, and detection means 6 and 6′for detecting light intensities of the separated light beams output from the light separation adjusting means, wherein an I-component signal and a Q-component signal are generated on the basis of detection signals from the detection means.
