Abstract:
A multiplexer inserts a dummy signal light into a main signal. A light intensity monitor acquires the intensity of the light of each wavelength of a light output from a wavelength selective switch. A light source controller controls the insertion of the dummy signal light into the main signal, and release of the insertion. A difference calculator calculates the difference between a first light intensity that has been acquired in a state in which the dummy signal light is inserted into the main signal and a second light intensity that has been acquired in a state in which the dummy signal light is not inserted into the main signal. An insertion loss calculator calculates an insertion loss in the wavelength selective switch based on the calculated difference. An insertion loss controller controls the insertion loss in the wavelength selective switch based on the calculated insertion loss.

Claim (Index 9):
An insertion loss correction method comprising:\n multiplexing a main signal in which optical signals having a plurality of wavelengths are multiplexed with a dummy signal light, and output the main signal into which the dummy signal light is inserted to a wavelength selective switch; acquiring a first light intensity of each wavelength of a light output from the wavelength selective switch in a state in which the dummy signal light is inserted into the main signal; inputting the main signal to the wavelength selective switch; acquiring a second light intensity of each wavelength of the light output from the wavelength selective switch in a state in which the dummy signal light is not inserted into the main signal; calculating a difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity; calculating an insertion loss in the wavelength selective switch based on the difference; and controlling the insertion loss in the wavelength selective switch based on the insertion loss that has been calculated.
