Disclosed herein is an optical node device applicable to an optical network including a closed loop provided by an optical fiber. This optical node device includes a tunable wavelength selecting element adapted to input WDM signal light obtained by wavelength division multiplexing a plurality of optical signals having different wavelengths, the tunable wavelength selecting element having a function of dropping at least one optical signal from the WDM signal light and a function of adding at least one optical signal to at least one unassigned wavelength channel of the WDM signal light; and a wavelength selecting filter optically connected to the tunable wavelength selecting element for removing noise present in any bands other than a signal band of each optical signal passing through the tunable wavelength selecting element. With this configuration, the oscillation of optical power in the closed loop can be prevented by the use of the wavelength selecting filter for removing noise in any bands other than the signal band.

An optical device can realize a further severer wave synthesizing/separation characteristic, compared with the characteristic in the past. The optical device includes a branching filter which separates wavelength division multiplexed signal lights of a plurality of wavelength groups, into first wavelength groups and second wavelength groups consisting of wavelength groups which do not come into contact with the wavelength groups making up the first wavelength groups, on the wavelength axis; a functional circuit that functionally processes the wavelength groups on a wavelength group-by-group basis of the separated first wavelength groups and second wavelength groups; and a multiplexer connected to the branching filter through the functional circuit, for synthesizing the separated first wavelength groups and second wavelength groups.

An apparatus switches paths in a wavelength-multiplexing network in which a first number of wavelengths each used for a path to transmit an optical signal are multiplexed into an optical fiber. The apparatus includes an entire switching unit and a second number of individual switching units where the second number is smaller than the first number. The entire switching unit is configured to perform a path-switching process for switching a path, simultaneously on all the first number of wavelengths when failures have occurred for all the first number of wavelengths. The second number of individual switching units are each configured to perform the path-switching process individually on one of a third number of wavelengths included in the first number of wavelengths when at least one failure has occurred for the third number of wavelengths where the third numbers is smaller than the first number.

An optical transmission system, where in an optical transmitter a detection bit having a specific pattern set according to the number of bits to be transmitted within one symbol time, is imparted with respect to a transmission signal in which transmission information has been encoded according to a preset format, and an optical signal generated by modulating light according to the transmission signal is transmitted to a transmission line. In an optical receiver, logic inversion or bit swap of received data is detected and compensated by using the detection bit included in the received signal, a decoding process of the compensated received signal is executed. As a result, when an optical signal capable of transmitting multi-bit information within one symbol time is transferred, it is possible to realize excellent transmission characteristics, by reliably compensating an error in received data caused by the modulation format or the multiplex system of the optical signal.

An object is to simplify a process performed due to a failure recovery. To realize this object, the transmission apparatus includes a determining unit that determines, when a transmission apparatus receives a frame from each ring in a network including multiple rings in which a part of each ring is shared, whether failure information indicating that a failure has occurred in one of the rings is contained in one of the received frames. The transmission apparatus also includes a mapping unit that maps a frame that is determined by the determining unit to contain the failure information, onto a shared frame that is a frame used in a shared portion in the multiple rings. Accordingly, the process performed due to a failure recovery can be simplified.

An optical transmitter is provided for transmitting a wavelength multiplexed signal comprising an intensity modulation optical signal and a phase modulation optical signal through a transmission line. The optical transmitter includes a bit time difference given signal generator for generating at least two optical signals having a bit time difference therebetween, from the wavelength multiplexed signal. The optical transmitter further includes a wavelength multiplexed signal output unit to which at least two optical signals are input from the bit time difference given signal generator, and which generates and outputs a wavelength multiplexed signal in which the bit time difference was given between the phase modulation optical signal and the phase modulation optical signal.

A receiving/processing unit receives signals parallelized by a parallelizing unit, and executes a frame process including frame synchronization process on the signals. A phase comparing circuit and a phase judging circuit judge whether a bit delay is present based on a phase difference between a phase of a clock signal at a clock/data recovering unit and a phase of a clock signal at the parallelizing unit. The receiving/processing unit includes a logic processing circuit that executes a bit delay process based on a result of judgment by the phase comparing circuit and the phase judging circuit.
