ABSTRACT:
A pre-emphasis control method automatically and appropriately performs the pre-emphasis of each wavelength in a wavelength division multiplexing communications system. Before instructing pre-emphasis for a transmitting unit, the optical power of an optical signal of each channel (wavelength) is increased/decreased by a predetermined value, and it is determined for each channel whether or not the difference between a Q value when the optical power is large and a Q value when the optical power is small, is larger than 0. Depending on the determination, that is, if the difference is larger than 0, then it is determined that the channel belongs to a linear area, and if the different is equal to or smaller than 0, then the channel belongs to a nonlinear area. If the Q value of each channel is to be improved by the pre-emphasis, then the optical power is increased for the channel in the linear area, and decreased for the channel in the nonlinear area.
