An optical transmission system includes: a first optical transmitting unit for transmitting a first optical signal having a first wavelength; a second optical transmitting unit for transmitting a second optical signal having a second wavelength; an output adjustment unit for acquiring the first optical signal and the second optical signal, adjusting signal intensities of the acquired optical signals, and outputting the optical signals; a multiplexer for multiplexing the first optical signal and the second optical signal that have been subjected to signal intensity adjustment and outputting a multiplexed signal; an amplifier for amplifying the multiplexed signal; a first optical receiving unit for receiving the amplified first optical signal; and a second optical receiving unit for receiving the amplified second optical signal. The output adjustment unit adjusts the signal intensities of the first optical signal and the second optical signal such that the signal intensity of the first optical signal received by the first optical receiving unit is larger than or equal to a first predetermined value, and the signal intensity of the second optical signal received by the second optical receiving unit is larger than or equal to a second predetermined value.
