The present invention aims at providing an optical transmission system for improving transmission characteristics, taking account of the nonlinear optical effect to be caused not only in an optical fiber transmission path wherein the distributed Raman amplification is performed but also in an amplifying medium wherein the discrete Raman amplification is performed, within an optical transmission device. To this end, the optical transmission system of the present invention controls, in each repeating section, the supplying conditions of pumping lights at a distributed Raman amplifier and a discrete Raman amplifier, based on signal light powers at a signal light input point to the optical fiber transmission path and a signal light output point from the optical fiber transmission path, and signal light powers at a signal light input point to a DCF(amplifying medium) and a signal light output point from the DCF within an optical repeater, so that an amount of nonlinear optical effect caused in one repeating section is brought to a required value or less. |
