The optical transmission system modulates backward Raman pump light provided to an optical transmission line on one link side of an uplink and downlink, to thereby transmit a pilot signal for confirming a connection state of the optical transmission line to a node on an upstream side. When the pilot signal is received by the node on the upstream side, the backward Raman pump light provided to the optical transmission link on the opposite link side is modulated to thereby send back a response signal to an own node. Then by confirming receipt of the response signal at the own node, the backward Raman pump light provided to the optical transmission line on the one link side is changed over from a low output state to a high output state.
