Abstract:
An optical transmission system includes: a terminal station device that transmits a wavelength multiplexed optical signal resulting from multiplexing an optical signal and dummy light; and an optical add-drop multiplexer that receives respective wavelength multiplexed optical signals transmitted from a plurality of the terminal station devices and performs add-drop processing on the wavelength multiplexed optical signals. The dummy light has a wavelength arrangement in which adjacent wavelengths are arranged with equal spacing, and the wavelength arrangement of the dummy light differs between the terminal station devices.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical transmission apparatus comprising:\n a first group of transmitters configured to output a first optical signal and a second optical signal with a first wavelength spacing in a first band; a second group of transmitters configured to output a third optical signal and a fourth optical signal with a second wavelength spacing in a second band; a dummy light generator configured to output a first dummy light in the first band and a second dummy light in the second band; and an optical multiplexer configured to output a first wavelength multiplexed optical signal multiplexed the first signal, the second signal, and the first dummy light and a second wavelength multiplexed optical signal multiplexed the third signal, the fourth signal, and the second dummy light.
