A method of setting shared risk link group identification information (SRLG ID) which is one of link properties employed for calculating a route for a path in a communications network including nodes and links for interconnecting the nodes, and indicates a link group which shares resources, comprises the step of assigning a number of SRLG IDs to the link group in accordance with a failure rate of resources shared by that link group. A route calculating method for calculating routes for a working path and a standby path comprises the step of calculating the routes such that a minimum number of SRLG IDs duplicate between all links on the route of the working path and all links on the route of the standby path.

An optical receiving circuit 1 is composed of a preamplifier circuit 2, an output differential amplifier 3 and a mean value holding circuit 4. The optical receiving circuit 1 is connected to a photodetector 5 for receiving an input optical signal and outputting current. For the preamplifier circuit 2, a transimpedance type circuit may also be used. The preamplifier circuit 2 comprises a feedback resistor 21 and a resistor for detecting output voltage 22, the transimpedance gain is 55 dB &OHgr; and 3 dB bandwidth when the photodetector 5 the capacity of which is 0.2 pF is connected to its output is 8 GHz. The output differential amplifier 3 discriminates and regenerates data by regulating reference voltage Vref between the high level and the low level of the amplitude of an input signal. The mean value holding circuit 4 includes a sample-hold circuit 41 and capacity 42 for holding the mean value of voltage output from the preamplifier circuit 2. As a CR time constant based upon the capacity 42 and the resistor for detection 22 is 1 ns., the mean value level of a received signal can be detected in approximately one byte of the data of 10 Gb/s. The sample-hold circuit 41 samples the detected mean value level according to a sampling pulse from an external device and holds it. The output of the sample-hold circuit 41 is used for the reference voltage of the differential amplifier 3.

An optical wavelength selector is provided that selects WDM channels from WDM optical signal and outputs each WDM channels from a plurality of ports. WDM optical signal in which m×n WDM channels are multiplexed is divided into n WDM channel groups and outputted by means of one wavelength-division demultiplexer. One WDM channel group is selected from the n WDM channel groups by means of n optical gate switches. The selected WDM optical signal is then separated into m WDM channels by wavelength and outputted by means of an optical wavelength router. As a result, m WDM channels of a specific WDM channel group can be received by m optical receivers.

An optical filter having a transmission wavelength to be tuned dependent on light incident angle is rotatively provided in a collimated light path. The optical filter is rotated by the displacement of a piezoelectric actuator by a structure in which the displacement is converted to the rotation of the optical filter. The converting structure comprises a displacement magnifying mechanism for magnifying the displacement to provide the magnified displacement and a motion converting mechanism for converting the magnified displacement to the rotation of the optical filter.

An optical cross-connecting device is small in scale of a switch even when a wavelength multiplexed signal to be transmitted through an optical fiber is high density and wide range. Switching of the wavelength multiplexed signals is performed in a first optical switch, switching per wavelength group in a second optical switch is performed for only signals required switching for smaller granularity, and switching per wavelength signals in a third optical switch is performed for only signals required switching for smaller granularity to from the opticall cross-connecting device. By this, even when the wavelength multiplexed signal to be transmitted through the optical fiber is high density and wide band, the optical cross-connecting device can be small in scale of a switch.
