Abstract: An optical transmission apparatus includes an input unit, a demultiplexing unit, a measurement unit, and a switching unit. The input unit inputs a first multiplexed signal and a second multiplexed signal each obtained by multiplexing a plurality of optical signals having different wavelengths. The demultiplexing unit demultiplexes the first multiplexed signal and the second multiplexed signal by wavelength. The measurement unit measures qualities of a plurality of optical signals obtained by demultiplexing the first multiplexed signal and qualities of a plurality of optical signals obtained by demultiplexing the second multiplexed signal. The switching unit performs switching between the first multiplexed signal and the second multiplexed signal to be output to a subsequent stage based on a result of measurement by the measurement unit.
