Abstract
An optical transmission apparatus includes a variable attenuator configured to adjust output intensity of each wavelength signal included in a multiplexed optical signal having been input; a monitor configured to measure an output spectrum of the variable attenuator; a calculation unit configured to calculate an amount of spectral narrowing and an amount of spectral surplus, based on a measured value by the monitor, and a target value set in advance; and a control unit configured to control an amount of attenuation of the variable attenuator, based on the amount of spectral narrowing and the amount of spectral surplus.
