Optical transmission system transmits WDM signal from first node to second node via optical fiber. The optical transmission system includes: first OCM that detects optical power of each wavelength channel of the WDM signal in the first node; second OCM that detects optical power of each wavelength channel of the WDM signal in the second node; first processor that calculates linear SNR of each wavelength channel based on the optical power of each wavelength channel detected by the second OCM; second processor that calculates non-linear SNR of each wavelength channel based on the optical power of each wavelength channel detected by the first OCM; third processor that calculates GSNR for each wavelength channel using the linear SNR and the non-linear SNR; and fourth processor that controls transmission power of each wavelength channel of the WDM signal based on the GSNR of each wavelength channel.
