Abstract

An optical transmission system includes: a plurality of optical transmission devices each including: an adjustment unit to adjust optical power of channels in the WDM optical signal; and a controller to control the adjustment unit based on an adjustment amount, and a management device including: a converter to convert an evaluation value for evaluating quality of service provided by using the channels in the WDM optical signal into a threshold value of transmission quality to be satisfied by the channels; and a determination unit to calculate the transmission quality of the channels based on monitoring information of the channels in the WDM optical signal adjusted by the adjusting unit of at least one of the plurality of optical transmission devices and to determine the adjustment amount to be set for the optical transmission device so that the calculated transmission quality of the channels satisfy the threshold value.
