An optical receiver including a waveguide substrate including a first waveguide that transmits a main signal beam, a second waveguide that transmits a monitoring beam that has branched from the main signal beam, and a third waveguide that transmits an amplification beam to amplify the main signal beam; a light receiving device array including, integrally formed to the same substrate, a first light receiving device that detects the main signal beam and a second light receiving device that detects the monitoring beam; and a case that houses the waveguide substrate and the light receiving device array. The first light receiving device faces toward an end of the first waveguide, and the second light receiving device faces toward an end of the second waveguide.
