Abstract
An optical transmitter having a function which compensates for wavelength dispersion is provided with a plurality of light sources for outputting light having wavelengths that differ from one another. Before the optical transmission system begins operating, the wavelength of light output to an optical transmission line is varied by changing over the light sources in order to detect a wavelength whose transmission characteristic is optimum with regard to wavelength dispersion exhibited by this optical transmission line. During system operation, the light having the detected optimum wavelength is output to the optical transmission line.
