Abstract

A device for eliminating optical noise receives an optical signal, and includes a first filter which transmits light falling within a same wavelength range as the optical signal, so as to output a filtered signal including the optical signal and first background noise, a second filter which transmits light having a wavelength falling outside the wavelength range of the optical signal, so as to output second background noise, a converter which converts the filtered signal into a first electrical signal and converts the second background noise into a second electrical signal, and an operational unit which performs a mathematical operation on products respectively of the first and second electrical signals and first and second parameters, to result in an output signal.
