Abstract
A measurement apparatus includes: a light source unit configured to generate optical signals of, from among n+1 frequencies (n is an integer of 3 or larger) at a predetermined frequency interval, n frequencies except for a target frequency, and output the generated optical signals to an optical transmission path that is a measurement target; an optical power measurement device configured to measure of an optical signal of the target frequency output from the optical transmission path and generated in the optical transmission path as a result of four-wave-mixing of the optical signals of the n frequencies; and a processor configured to determine a power spectrum density of non-linear interference noise that occurs in the optical transmission path, by multiplying the power of the optical signal of the target frequency by an adjustment value.
