Abstract

An optical transmission apparatus including: an attenuator that attenuates a power of a first optical signal generated in a first modulation method to a first target level and attenuates a power of a second optical signal generated in a second modulation method, a modulation level in the second modulation method being lower than the modulation level in the first modulation method, to a second target level, the second target level being lower than the first target level; and a transmitter that sends a WDM signal including the first optical signal and the second optical signal that have been attenuated by the attenuator.
