Abstract
An optical transmission system including an optical transmitter and an optical receiver, wherein the optical transmitter includes a signal coding unit that performs non-linear block coding on an M (M is an integer greater than or equal to 1)-value symbol sequence or a bit sequence input as data information to generate an L (L is an integer greater than or equal to 2, L>M)-value symbol sequence that corresponds to the M-value symbol sequence or the bit sequence in one-to-one correspondence, a digital-to-analog conversion unit that converts the generated L-value symbol sequence to an analog signal, and a modulator that generates an optical modulation signal by performing modulation based on the analog signal, and the optical receiver includes a light receiving unit that receives the optical modulation signal transmitted from the optical transmitter and converts the optical modulation signal to an electrical signal, and a signal decoding unit that restores the M-value symbol sequence or the bit sequence by performing processing that is the reverse of processing performed by the signal coding unit, on the electrical signal.
