Abstract

An optical communication apparatus performs wavelength division multiplexing with respect to signals of a plurality of signal transmission bands. The apparatus includes a first optical unit which effects distributed Raman amplification and has a characteristic that compensates for dispersion of a transmission path to which the optical communication apparatus is connected, with respect to at least one of the signal transmission bands.
