A reception device 20 is configured to include a separation means 21 and a plurality of optical reception means 22. Each optical reception means 22 further includes an optical/electrical conversion means 23, a reception coefficient computation means 24, and a band restoration means 25. The separation means 21 separates a multiplexed signal into which signals of respective channels to which spectral shaping that narrows bandwidth to less than or equal to a baud rate is applied as band narrowing filter processing on the transmission side, based on characteristics of a transmission line are multiplexed at spacings less than or equal to the baud rate. Each band restoration means 25 applies processing having inverse characteristics to those of the band narrowing filter processing to a reception signal, based on the band narrowing parameter acquired by the reception coefficient computation means 24 and thereby restores the band of the reception signal.
