It is the object of the invention to provide an optical signal receiving apparatus, which is used in a narrow band WDM optical transmission system, and never misguidedly receives an adjacent optical signal, when an optical signal to be received is down. An optical signal to be received is extracted from plural WDM optical signals by an optical BPF, a central wavelength of which coincides with the wavelength of the optical signal to be received, and converted into an electrical signal by the O/E converter. A tone-signal extracting circuit extracts the frequency component of the tone-signal, which is superposed on the optical signal with the wavelength equal to the central wavelength of the optical BPF. If the extracted signal level of the tone signal is lower than that of a predetermined standard voltage, a comparator supplies a reset signal to an electrical signal decision circuit. If the optical signal with a desired wavelength is down, the output level of a tone-signal extracting circuit becomes low, and the electrical signal decision circuit is reset. Then, even if the clock signal of the adjacent optical signal is extracted, the adjacent optical signals is not misguidedly discriminated and regenerated by the electrical signal decision circuit. <IMAGE> |
