An optical transceiver (101) of an optical relay apparatus includes: a coherent reception front-end unit (110) that coherently detects an input optical signal to be input, based on local oscillation light, and outputs the coherently detected first analog electric signal; a coherent transmission front-end unit (120) that coherently modulates a second analog electric signal acquired by turning around the first analog electric signal, based on transmission light, and outputs the coherently modulated output optical signal; and an analog compensation unit (130) that performs analog signal processing on the first analog electric signal in such a way as to compensate for signal quality according to a signal characteristic between an input of the coherent reception front-end unit (110) and an output of the coherent transmission front-end unit (120), and thereby generates the second analog electric signal.
