Abstract

An optical transmission system using a transmission path for transmitting an optical signal, including: a transmitter for transmitting the optical signal; one or more optical elements for compensating deterioration of the optical signal; and a receiver for receiving the optical signal, in which a compensation amount of each of the optical element for the degradation is a predetermined amount based on a spectrum of the optical signal at a first measurement position that is a predetermined position between the transmitter and the transmission path and a spectrum of the optical signal at a second measurement position that is a predetermined position between the transmission path and the receiver.

Claims (18)

1 . An optical transmission system using a transmission path for transmitting an optical signal, comprising:

a transmitter for transmitting the optical signal;

one or more optical elements for compensating deterioration of the optical signal; and

a receiver for receiving the optical signal; wherein

a compensation amount of each of the optical elements for the deterioration is a predetermined amount based on a spectrum of the optical signal at a first measurement position that is a predetermined position between the transmitter and the transmission path, and a spectrum of the optical signal at a second measurement position that is a predetermined position between the transmission path and the receiver.

2 . The optical transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein

the compensation amount is a predetermined amount depending on a predetermined rule that reduces a difference between a transmission side spectrum that is a spectrum of the optical signal at the first measurement position and a reception side spectrum that is a spectrum of the optical signal at the second measurement position.

3 . The optical transmission system according to claim 2 , wherein

the rule is, based on setting pattern list information indicating a plurality of setting patterns corresponding to compensation amounts of each of the optical elements, a rule for determining each compensation amount indicated by the setting pattern that minimizes the difference as an actual compensation amount of each of the optical element.

4 . The optical transmission system according to claim 2 , wherein the rule is a rule for calculating the compensation amount of each of the optical elements at a predetermined distribution rate so that a total sum of the compensation amounts is equal to inverse characteristics of transmission characteristics of the transmission path.

5 . The optical transmission system according to claim 4 , wherein

the predetermined distribution rate depends on a rule in which a distribution rate is according to non-compensation distance that is a distance in which the optical signal is transmitted and in which the optical signal is transmitted without being compensated.

6 . The optical transmission system according to claim 5 , wherein the predetermined distribution rate is a distribution rate depending on a rule in which the longer the non-compensation distance, the smaller the compensation amount of the optical element at a transmission destination.

7 . The optical transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein a compensation amount of each of the optical elements is equal to each other, when the number of the optical elements is two and a compensation amount of each of the optical elements is not zero.

8 . An optical transmission method performed by an optical transmission system using a transmission path for transmitting an optical signal, the system comprising: a transmitter for transmitting the optical signal; one or more optical elements for compensating for deterioration of the optical signal; and a receiver for receiving the optical signal, and the method comprising the steps of:

transmitting the optical signal with the transmitter;

compensating deterioration of the optical signal with the optical element; and

receiving the optical signal with the receiver; wherein a compensation amount of each of the optical elements for the deterioration is a predetermined amount based on a spectrum of the optical signal at a first measurement position that is a determined position between the transmitter and the transmission path and a spectrum of the optical signal at a second measurement position that is a predetermined position between the transmission path and the receiver.
