In an optical transmission system, SPM influences on the degradation of wave forms are canceled by setting an amount of compensation of a dispersion compensator at about 50% of the total amount of dispersion of an optical fiber transmission line so that a received wave form is substantially not varied, even if light intensity is varied. When a plurality of dispersion compensator are used, the number of compensators is optimized by setting the arrangement interval in the vicinity of the receiving end to a small value. Further, in a transmission line, in which amounts of dispersion of optical fibers have positive and negative fluctuations, the smallest transmission distance of a transmission system is increased by effecting dispersion compensation so that an expected value of the total amount of dispersion of the transmission line is abnormal dispersion.
