Abstract

To suppress the deterioration of the characteristics of a MIMO equalizer as well as minimizing an increase in circuit size in spite of the occurrence of signal spectrum narrowing and asymmetric spectrum degradation, a wavelength-division multiplexing optical transmission system ( 10 ) according to an embodiment includes a transmitter ( 1 ) that generates one channel signal by wavelength-division multiplexing a plurality of subcarrier signals so as to overlap each other and transmits the channel signal, and a receiver ( 2 ) that separates a received channel signal into subcarrier signals, and performs equalization using an MIMO equalizer ( 3 ) including a FDE-MIMO equalizer ( 4 ) and a TDE-MIMO equalizer ( 5 ) on each of the separated subcarrier signals.
