An optical circuit that converts a phase-modulated optical signal into intensity-modulated signal light in accordance with a phase, the optical circuit including a square mode distribution forming portion that forms a plurality of interfering signals each assuming a square mode shape, the interfering signals having respective phases shifted from each other by a certain angle, a light interference portion that creates a signal having a certain mode distribution, from the interfering signal, and that applies a Fourier transform to the signal having the certain mode distribution, and an output portion that has a plurality of waveguides each provided in correspondence with the phase and that outputs an optical signal that has been output from the light interference portion.
