An optical transmission system that alleviates waveform distortions due to nonlinear effects in fibers. A transmitter sends WDM signals to a receiver over a dispersion-managed optical transmission line with in-line optical repeaters. The transmission line is divided into a plurality of dispersion compensation intervals each composed of a main segment and a compensation segment. Chromatic dispersion is managed such that the dispersion compensation intervals have a non-zero net dispersion at every boundary point between them, or such that the number of zero-dispersion boundary points is reduced. The main segment is a series of repeater sections with negative dispersion, while the compensation segment is a single repeater section with positive dispersion. Non-uniform distribution of net chromatic dispersions over the transmission length is achieved by combining repeater section with different average dispersions, dispersion compensation intervals with different numbers of repeater sections, or repeater sections with different span lengths.

In a network, a controller controls a physical-interconnection selection switch and middle switches so as to dynamically change a network topology according to the state of the network. A traffic analyzer detects how the traffic in the network changes. If there is a change in traffic, the controller controls the physical-interconnection selection switch and the middle switches so as to change the network topology to one suitable for the changed traffic.

In the optical network system, light input to any of the optical input ports of the optical coupler is converted into light at another wavelength via a variable-wavelength optical receiver and an optical sender, and is then reinput to the optical coupler. This arrangement makes it possible to realize a full-mesh optical network system with a simple construction at low costs.
