Abstract
An optical communication apparatus receives a signal in which optical signals each including multiplexed subcarriers are frequency multiplexed, and includes: transceivers to perform reception process on a processing target band in which any one of the optical signals is included and to calculate a frequency offset amount between local light and a reception target optical signal that is included in the processing target band and calculate a carrier frequency interval between the local light and an optical signal adjacent to the reception target optical signal; and a frequency control unit to calculate an adjustment amount when an optical communication apparatus that is a source of the optical signals adjusts the frequencies of the optical signals based on the frequency offset amount and the carrier frequency interval calculated by the transceivers and to transmit the calculated adjustment amount to the optical communication apparatus that is a source of the optical signals.
