Abstract
The invention provides an optical communication system, an optical transmitting apparatus, an optical receiving apparatus, an optical communication method, and a storage medium, in which a large-capacity transmission can be performed at high speed and multiplexing efficiency can be improved. The optical communication system includes an optical transmitting apparatus and an optical receiving apparatus connected via a transmitting medium having anomalous dispersion characteristics. In this system, the optical transmitting apparatus converts a plurality of information signals output from a plurality of signal sources into light signals having amplitudes different according to the respective information signals to output the light signals LP, by providing an individual specified optical intensity capable of performing an optical soliton transmission. The optical receiving apparatus has a function of demodulating the light signals LP input via the transmitting medium by identifying the corresponding information signal according to the magnitude of the amplitude to demodulate the plurality of the information signals.
