<p>Provided is an optical multilevel transmission system, comprising at least one optical multilevel transmitter for transmitting an optical multilevel signal obtained and an optical multilevel receiver for receiving the optical multilevel signal. The received optical multilevel signal has a larger noise in an angular direction than in a radial direction. The optical multilevel receiver sets, in a symbol decision of the received optical multilevel signal demodulated on the complex plane, for positions of all or some of ideal signal points, a width in the angular direction of a decision area, to which each of the ideal signal points belongs and which is measured along a circumference of a circle centered at an origin and passing through a center of the each of the ideal signal points, larger than a width in the angular direction of a decision area defined based on a Euclidean distance.</p> |
