Signal light with a specific wavelength is transmitted and extracted from signal light multiplexed by a WDM method, and a light detection unit detects the signal light detected by an optical tunable filter, whose wavelength transmission characteristic varies depending on a control signal. An operation circuit generates information for designating a control signal needed to enable the optical tunable filter to extract signal light with a designated wavelength, based on the detected results of two segments of signal light located at each edge of a wavelength band obtained by shifting the wavelength transmission characteristic of the optical tunable filter from outside the wavelength band including all segments of the entire WDM signal. A driving circuit generates a control signal according to the designation information.

A wavelength stabilizing filter has a wavelength transmission characteristic curve that has its peak in a wavelength located between a first continuous set band and a second continuous set band longer in wavelength than the first set band, and that linearly drops from the peak toward the shorter wavelength side than the first set band and also toward the longer wavelength side longer than the second set band. A control unit generates a control signal needed to enable an optical tunable filter to extract signal light with a predetermined wavelength from an inputted WDM signal, based on light transmitted through the wavelength stabilizing filter.

Optical add/drop nodes are used in a network having a pair of optical transmission paths for transmitting optical signals in opposite directions to each other. Each add/drop node comprises a variable split ratio optical coupler for splitting an optical signal output from a transmitter. The split ratio of the variable split ratio optical coupler is set such that the optical power levels of the signals added through the respective optical add/drop nodes are equal to one another respectively on the pair of optical transmission paths.

A response-time storing unit stores a response time from start of output of driving force required for switching paths until stabilization of the driving force, for each of the paths to be connected. A driving-force correcting unit corrects output level of the driving force, starting correction of the output level of the driving force after the response time for a specified path stored in the response-time storing unit has passed since output of the driving force required for switching to the specified path started.
