Abstract:
In an optical receiver, a control unit determines an SOA current set value such that an SOA current becomes a maximum value I SOA _ MAX  when a VOA voltage is smaller than a first threshold value V VOA _ LOW , determines the SOA current set value such that the SOA current becomes smaller than the maximum value I SOA _ MAX  and larger than a minimum value I SOA _ MIN  when the VOA voltage is equal to or larger than the first threshold value V VOA _ LOW  and is smaller than a second threshold value V VOA HIGH , and determines the SOA current set value such that the SOA current is fixed to the minimum value I SOA _ MIN  when the VOA voltage is equal to or larger than the second threshold value V VOA _ HIGH .

Claim (Index 10):
The method of controlling an optical receiver according to  claim 9 , the method further comprising:\n setting the second control signal to the first upper limit value until optical power of the optical reception signal reaches a first boundary value when the first control signal falls within the range equal to or larger than the first threshold value and equal to or smaller than the second threshold value; and decreasing the second control signal with an increase in the optical power of the optical reception signal until the optical power of the optical reception signal exceeds the first boundary value and reaches a second boundary value larger than the first boundary value, and setting the second control signal to the second lower limit value when the first control signal is larger than the second threshold value.
