In a light signal reception apparatus having a light surge eliminating function and provided in an optical transmission system, the apparatus of the present invention can effectively eliminate a light surge accidentally included in a light signal. The apparatus includes: an optical amplifying unit for receiving a light signal and amplifying it to a predetermined level; an optical filtering unit operatively connected to the optical amplifying unit for eliminating the light surge and passing through the light signal; an opto-electrical converting unit operatively connected to the optical filtering unit for converting the light signal to an electrical signal; and a monitoring unit operatively connected to the optical amplifying unit for monitoring a fluctuation of the light signal, and controlling a transmission wavelength characteristic of the optical filtering unit or a wavelength of the light signal in order to eliminate the light surge.
