The other preamplifier 3 is a positive phase output preamplifier which receives the cathode output of the light receiving element as an input. The reason why the double width dividers 2 and 3 generate outputs with opposite phases to each other is that the outputs of the anode and cathode of the light receiving element are in a relationship with opposite phases to each other, so that the signal appearing at the output of the selection circuit 5 This is to make the polarities the same.
