Abstract
In setting pre-emphasis at the transmitting end, each optical signal outputted from a laser diode and an amplified spontaneous emission noise outputted from an ASE output unit are multiplexed at a coupler, and the output power of the amplified spontaneous emission noise, at that time, is changed by an attenuator. In this case, the difference between a reference value, which is the value of an OSNR corresponding to the target lower limit of a Q-value at the receiving end, and the value of a current OSNR is calculated as a margin. Then, the attenuator is controlled so that the margin of an OSNR becomes equal to the average of the margins for all optical signals.
