ABSTRACT:
According to a WDM optical transmission system of the present invention, wavelength numbers information of a WDM signal light output from an upstream side optical amplifying unit to a transmission path fiber, and signal output level information thereof are transmitted to a downstream side optical amplifying unit utilizing a supervisory control light. In the downstream side optical amplifying unit, a loss (span loss) in the transmission path fiber is computed using the upstream side signal output level information and downstream side signal input level information, so that a gain to be set for a downstream side optical amplifier is calculated based on the computed loss, and also, the gain is corrected based on a difference between a target value of the signal output level computed using the wavelength numbers information and an actual measurement value thereof, so that the optical amplifier is controlled in accordance with the post-corrected gain. As a result, it becomes possible to reduce an influence by a measurement error of the span loss, to thereby control the optical amplifier at a high-speed and with high precision.
