Abstract

An optical transmission system, comprising: a transmission unit that maximizes a frequency interval between a plurality of channel components within a transmission band, and generates a first optical signal that is an optical signal in which the plurality of channel components are wavelength-division multiplexed, a first transmission path for transmitting the first optical signal, a phase conjugate conversion unit that generates a second optical signal by inverting a spectrum of the first optical signal, and a second transmission path for transmitting the second optical signal. The first transmission path and the second transmission path wavelength-disperse the plurality of channel components of the first optical signal and the second optical signal. The first transmission path may include one or more first optical relay units for amplifying and relaying the first optical signal. The second transmission path may include one or more second optical relay units for amplifying and relaying the second optical signal.

Claims (16)

1 . An optical transmission system, comprising:

a transmitter that maximizes a frequency interval between a plurality of channel components within a transmission band, and generates a first optical signal that is an optical signal in which the plurality of channel components are wavelength-division multiplexed;
