Abstract:
A pluggable electric connector can communicate a communication data signal and a control signal with an optical communication device. An optical signal output unit is configured to be capable of selectively output a wavelength of an optical signal. An optical power adjustment unit can adjust optical power of the optical signal. A pluggable optical receptor can output the optical signal to an optical fiber. A control unit controls a wavelength change operation according to the control signal. The control unit, according to a wavelength change command, commands the optical power adjustment unit to block output of the optical signal, commands the light signal output unit to change the wavelength of the optical signal after the optical signal is blocked, and commands the light signal output unit and the optical power adjustment unit to output the optical signal after the wavelength change operation.

Claim (Index 21):
A communication system comprising:\n an optical fiber with an optical fiber connector; a pluggable optical module; and a host communication apparatus configured to control the pluggable optical module, wherein the pluggable optical module comprises:\n an electrical connector configured to connect with the host communication apparatus; \n an optical connector configured to connect the optical fiber with the optical fiber connector; an optical light source configured to output a first wavelength light; a modulator configured to modulate the first wavelength light based on an electric signal received from the host communication apparatus via the electrical connector and output a first optical signal; an optical attenuator configured to control power of the first optical signal output to the optical fiber via the optical connector; and a controller configured to perform a wavelength change operation in response to a wavelength change command from the host communication apparatus via the electrical connector, wherein the wavelength change operation comprises:\n the optical attenuator blocks the first optical signal; \n the optical light source changes the first wavelength light to a second wavelength light after the optical attenuator blocks the first optical signal; and \n the optical attenuator outputs a second optical signal after the optical light source changes the first wavelength light to a second wavelength light, the second optical signal is the second wavelength light modulated by the modulator.
