Abstract: It is aimed at providing an optical receiving apparatus and an optical receiving method, which can assuredly receive and process signal lights having different transmission rates, by a simple and single device. To this end, the signal light received by the present optical receiving apparatus is converted into an electric signal by a light receiving element and thereafter sent to an equalizing amplifier whereby the signal is amplified. The transmission rate of this received signal is detected by a transmission rate detecting part, and a band of the equalizing amplifier is optimally controlled by an equalizing band controlling part, corresponding to the detected transmission rate. In case of adopting a PLL (phase-locked loop) circuit as a clock generating circuit, there is also controlled a band of a loop filter corresponding to the transmission rate detected by the transmission rate detecting part.
