Optical data signal receiver having an optical separation of the received data signal into two signal paths, namely, an amplitude detection path and a phase detection path, wherein the phase detection path is split into an in-phase signal path generating in-phase-signals and a quadrature-signal path generating quadrature-signals, and both the in-phase-signal path and the quadrature-signal path, as well as the amplitude detection path, are connected to an analysis unit for demodulation of the received data signal, in which a normalizer and thereafter a symbol discriminator and a data reconstruction logic are arranged in the analysis unit. In the receiver, a connection is provided at least from the amplitude detection path to the normalizer, the normalizer normalizing the in-phase and quadrature-signals with the aid of the signal output from the amplitude detection path, the symbol discriminator discriminating the symbols output from the normalized in-phase and quadrature-signals. Additional connections can be provided from the amplitude detection path signal.
