ABSTRACT:
An optical transmission apparatus and method for changing a rise time (tr) and fall time (tf) of a signal light to be transmitted, to reduce wavelength dispersion characteristics and nonlinear effect of a transmission path. A transmitter includes a trtfadjusting circuit capable of adjusting trand tfof a modulation signal so that the modulation signal is optimized in accordance with reception characteristics. A modulator then modulates a light with this adjusted modulation signal, and the modulated light is then transmitted to a receiver via a transmission path. Therefore, by transmitting the modulated light having changed trand tf, the influence of wavelength dispersion characteristics and nonlinear effect of the transmission path can be offset, so that the waveform deterioration of signal light after transmission can be reduced.
