A receiver is configured to have two coherent receivers using two pieces of local oscillator of optical frequencies f11 and f12 close to optical frequency f1 of signal light, the two pieces of local oscillator being controlled to have a predetermined optical frequency spacing ”F, and a digital signal processor demodulating transmission data signal sequences based on outputs from the coherent receivers. When the frequency difference ”f1 of one of the two pieces of local oscillator from a virtual reference frequency f1' close to the optical frequency f1 of the signal light is set, the digital signal processor obtains the frequency difference ”f2 of the other of the two pieces of local oscillator by calculating ”f1 - ”F, inputs electric signals output from the two coherent receivers, and compensates the phase rotation caused in the electric signals by frequency differences ”f1 and ”f2.
