Abstract:
In order to improve the reliability of a reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexing (ROADM) device, provided is an optical add/drop device that comprises the following: a first wavelength selection unit and a second wavelength selection unit that can select and output an optical signal of a prescribed wavelength from among inputted optical signals; a first branching unit that selectively outputs a first signal being an optical signal that has been inputted from a first terminal station on a main route to the first wavelength selection unit and the second wavelength selection unit; a second branching unit that selectively outputs a second signal being an optical signal that has been inputted from a second terminal station on a sub-route to the first wavelength selection unit and the second wavelength selection unit; and a first output unit that can selectively output to the second terminal station, as a third signal, either the optical signal outputted by the first wavelength selection unit on the basis of the first signal and the second signal, or the optical signal outputted by the second wavelength selection unit on the basis of the first signal and the second signal.

Claim (Index 12):
The optical add/drop device according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a monitor configured to output a notification indicating a failure when detecting the failure of the first wavelength selection selector; and a controller configured to control the first branching circuit, the second branching circuit, the second wavelength selector, and the first output circuit in such a way that an optical signal to be output from the second wavelength selector is output as the third signal when receiving the notification indicating the failure from the monitor.
