    摘要: In an optical transmission apparatus, levels of signal lights obtained by demultiplexing a WDM signal and corresponding to channels are detected, based on which a channel in which a signal is transmitted and a channel in which no signal is transmitted are determined. An attenuation amount of a channel in which no signal is transmitted in a predetermined range from the channel in which the signal is transmitted is set to a value equal to an attenuation amount of the channel in which the signal is transmitted. An attenuation amount of a channel in which no signal is transmitted out of the predetermined range from the channel in which the signal is transmitted is set to a value larger than the attenuation amount of the channel in which the signal is transmitted. The signal lights are attenuated based on the values and multiplexed.

    摘要: An optical amplifier of the present invention comprises: first and second optical amplifying sections connected in series to each other between an input port and an output port; a first variable optical attenuator arranged on a former stage of the first optical amplifying section; a second variable optical attenuator arranged between the first and second optical amplifying sections; an optical amplification control section that controls the first and second optical amplifying sections; and an optical attenuation control section that controls the first and second variable optical attenuators. The optical amplification control section controls each of the optical amplifying sections so that a gain of the entirety of the optical amplifier is held constant, and the optical attenuation control section controls attenuation amounts of the variable optical attenuators so that monitor values of the output powers from the variable optical attenuators approximate the same value, provided that a value of the sum of the attenuation amounts of the variable optical attenuators decided according to the signal light input power per one wavelength of a WDM light is held constant. As a result, it becomes possible to provide at a low cost the optical amplifier capable of achieving flat output wavelength characteristics and the favorable NF, irrespective of the signal light input power per one wavelength of the WDM light and the number of wavelengths thereof.
