Patent attributes
An optical transmission system includes: first and second optical transmitting units for respectively transmitting first and second optical signals that are obtained, respectively, as a result of first and second frequency-multiplexed multi-channel signals being converted by means of FM batch conversion; a carrier monitoring function unit for monitoring each carrier signal included in the optical signals; an output adjustment unit for adjusting signal intensities of the optical signals and outputting the optical signals; a multiplexer for outputting a multiplexed signal of the optical signals; an amplifier for amplifying the multiplexed signal; and first and second optical receiving units for receiving the respective optical signals included in the amplified multiplexed signal. The output adjustment unit adjusts the respective signal intensities of the optical signals such that the signal intensity at each optical receiving unit is larger than or equal to a predetermined value. The carrier monitoring function unit updates the predetermined values based on a minimum optical sensitivity that is calculated based on the amount of frequency deviation of each carrier signal included in the optical signals.
