Abstract:
A branching unit branches a first wavelength-multiplexed optical signal input through a first transmission line, the first wavelength-multiplexed optical signal including first and second optical signals. A wavelength selection unit receives the branched first wavelength-multiplexed optical signal branched by the branching unit, receives a second wavelength-multiplexed optical signal including a third optical signal in the same band as that of the first optical signal and a fourth optical signal in the same band as that of the second optical signal through a second transmission line, outputs a third wavelength-multiplexed optical signal including the first and fourth optical signals optical to a third transmission line and output the third optical signal. A multiplexing unit outputs a fourth wavelength-multiplexed optical signal in which the branched first wavelength-multiplexed optical signal branched by the branching unit and the third optical signal output from the wavelength selection unit are multiplexed to a fourth transmission line.
