An optical receiver(3) includes a dividing unit(41), a control unit(42), and a compensating unit(43). The dividing unit(41) divides an optical transmission signal into a plurality of frequency components by a set number of divisions(N) and a set division bandwidth(Bdiv). The control unit(42) controls the number of divisions and the division bandwidth on the basis of transmission path information about an optical transmission line(4) through which the optical transmission signal is transmitted and signal information about the optical transmission signal. The compensating unit(43) compensates optical nonlinear distortion of each of the frequency components divided by the dividing unit.
