An optical transmission system includes an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, and a control apparatus. The control apparatus repeatedly performs an adjustment process for adjusting power of an optical signal of a frequency band to be adjusted while switching the frequency band to be adjusted between at least two frequency bands including at least a frequency band where stimulated Raman scattering occurs among frequency bands that are multiplexed in a multiplexed optical signal transmitted by the optical transmission system. In the adjustment process, when power of an optical signal of the frequency band to be adjusted transmitted from the optical transmitter has been changed, the control apparatus determines the power of the optical signal of the frequency band to be adjusted on the basis of a signal quality measured by the optical receiver that has received the optical signal.
