Abstract

An optical transmission system capable of efficiently reducing waveform distortion of an optical signal. A transmitting-side distortion compensation coefficient storage of a transmitting station stores transmitting-side distortion compensation coefficients for compensating for waveform distortion of an optical signal to be transmitted to a receiving station. A transmit signal processor performs distortion compensation on the optical signal on the basis of a suitable transmitting-side distortion compensation coefficient stored in the transmitting-side distortion compensation coefficient storage. A transmitter transmits the distortion-compensated signal to a transmission path. A receiver of the receiving station receives the optical signal from the transmission path. A receiving-side distortion compensation coefficient storage stores receiving-side distortion compensation coefficients for compensating for waveform distortion of the optical signal received by the receiver. A received signal processor performs distortion compensation on the received optical signal on the basis of a suitable receiving-side distortion compensation coefficient.
