Abstract:
An optical transmission apparatus and an optical transmission method are provided. In particular, an optical transmission apparatus is disclosed as being configured to add strength to a signal. The signal corresponds to a value that an input signal has, and the strength added to the signal is strength according to the value. The optical transmission apparatus is further configured to give delays to a plurality of signals that includes the signal and to convert the sum of the plurality of signals into an optical signal.

Claim (Index 8):
An optical transmission method for a multi-value signal, the method comprising:\n adding strength to a signal, wherein the signal corresponds to a value that an input signal has and the strength is in accordance with the value; giving delays to a plurality of signals that includes the signal; adding up the plurality of signals, to which the strength is added, to generate a sum signal, the plurality of signals further given the delays; and converting the sum signal into an optical signal and transmitting the optical signal, wherein a light intensity of the optical signal is modulated in accordance with strength of the sum signal and a wavelength of the optical signal varies in accordance with the light intensity.
