OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, OPTICAL TRANSMITTING APPARATUS, AND OPTICAL RECEIVING APPARATUS

An optical transmission system includes an optical transmitting apparatus that includes a polarization controller configured to change a polarization state of a signal light at an operating frequency included in a frequency range at which polarization trackability is obtained on a receiving side, based on a notified monitoring result, the optical transmitting apparatus being configured to output the signal light having the changed polarization state, and an optical receiving apparatus that is provided on the receiving side and includes a monitoring control unit configured to receive the signal light having the changed polarization state and monitor transmission quality of the received signal light, the optical receiving apparatus being configured to notify the optical transmitting apparatus of the monitoring result.
