Abstract

A method of monitoring chromatic dispersion when transmitting an optical signal includes: applying, to an optical signal in which the symbol rate is f, a dip in optical intensity for every n symbols by means of pseudo-RZ modulation where n is an integer equal to or greater than 2, and transmitting the optical signal to which dips have been applied to a transmission path; receiving the optical signal that is transmitted in by the transmission path and detecting the intensity of a frequency component of k*f/n from the received signal where k is an integer equal to or greater than 1; and based on the detected intensity, generating a monitor signal that represents the chromatic dispersion amount.
