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 28):
An optical communication method comprising:\n outputting a first wavelength light; modulating the first wavelength light based on an electric signal received from a host communication apparatus via an electrical connector and outputting a first optical signal; controlling power of the first optical signal output to an optical fiber via an optical connector; and performing 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 blocking the first optical signal; \n changing the first wavelength light to a second wavelength light after blocking the first optical signal; and \n outputting the second optical signal after changing the first wavelength light to a second wavelength light, the second optical signal is the second wavelength light modulated by a modulator.
