Abstract:
To enable the transmission and reception of a super-channel optical signal to continue maintaining the possible transmission capacity without providing a redundant configuration in advance even though a failure occurs in a subcarrier, an optical transmitter  10  of the present invention includes a splitting means  20  for splitting an inputted client signal so as to make frequency efficiency in optical modulation means optimized; optical modulation means  31  to  3 N for modulating one of subcarriers having mutually different wavelengths with the client signal output; a multiplexing means  40  for multiplexing the modulated signals and outputting a super-channel optical signal; and a control means  50 , in a state where a failure occurs in one of the subcarriers, for making a split client signal output to modulation means corresponding to a subcarrier having no failure and applying a modulation method with a higher frequency efficiency to at least one of the modulation means.

Claim (Index 18):
The optical transmission device according to  claim 6 ,\n wherein each of the N pieces of modulation sections modulates subcarriers whose center wavelengths are a first wavelength, a second wavelength, . . . , and an N-th wavelength, the center wavelengths being separated at a predetermined interval; and the controller, if a failure has occurred in L-th wavelength (1\u2264L\u2264N), generates a control signal for changing a modulation method of either one of a modulation section configured to modulate a subcarrier with (L\u22121)-th wavelength and a modulation section configured to modulate a subcarrier with (L+1)-th wavelength from the first modulation method to the second modulation method, and making, a center wavelength of a subcarrier that the modulation section whose modulation method has been changed to the second modulation method obtains, shift toward the L-th wavelength.
