Abstract:
[Problem] To provide an optical device capable of suppressing an optical signal from being trimmed because of band narrowing due to optical filters. [Solution] An optical device according to the present invention is provided with a plurality of optical filters each of which filters an optical signal in a predetermined band out of a plurality of optical signals with wavelengths different from one another. The plurality of optical filters are configured in such a way that portions of the pass bands ( 13 _ 1, 13 _ 2, 13 _ 3 ) of respective optical filters that respectively pass optical signals ( 15 _ 1, 15 _ 2, 15 _ 3 ) with wavelengths adjacent to each other overlap each other.

Claim (Index 6):
The optical device according to  claim 5 , wherein\n pass-band width per optical filter of the optical filters in the cyclic AWG is set at m (m is a positive real number not less than 2) times of an adjacent frequency interval of the plurality of optical signals.
