Restrictions, due to wavelength paths which are non-alternative combinations of wavelengths and paths, are solved. An optical-signal-transmission device comprises M optical-output means outputting optical signals having different wavelengths; optical-switch means having M input ports respectively connected to the optical-output means and output ports, and switching connections between the input ports and the output ports; and wavelength-multiplexing means having M acceptance ports respectively connected to the output ports, N forward ports switchably connected to the acceptance ports corresponding to wavelengths of optical signals inputted to the acceptance ports and transmitting multiplexed-optical signals corresponding to the optical signals accepted by the acceptance ports, wherein when Y particular input ports of the input ports are connected to one particular output port of the output ports, the switch means combines Y optical signals inputted to the particular input ports to generate a combined signal, and outputs the combined signal to the particular output port.
