Optical mixing device having intensity-noise suppression for a heterodyne receiver, and a receiver provided with such a mixing device. The mixing device comprises a coupler (31) having two optical input ports (32, 33) for a received signal (ES) and a local oscillator signal (EL), respectively, two optical output ports (34, 35), means (37) for creating an optical path-length difference between light signals emerging from the two output ports (34, 35) and a photodetection device (36), and means (34', 35') for feeding said light signals to the photodetection device (36) in separate beams. The mixing device has a simple optical fibre construction and does not require polarisation-influencing devices. <IMAGE>
