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.

An optical switch section that switches the path of an optical packet transmitted thereto and outputs the optical packet, and a control section that generates multiple switch control signals in accordance with the destination of an optical packet transmitted thereto, transmits the multiple control signals to the optical switch section through multiple signal transmission lines and controls the ON/OFF states of multiple optical switches are included, and delay measuring means for measuring a difference in delay time among the multiple signal transmission lines is provided. In this case, the control section adjusts the transmission times of the multiple switch control signals such that the difference in delay time measured by the delay measuring means can be cancelled and that the multiple switch control signals transmitted through the multiple signal transmission lines can arrive at the multiple optical switches simultaneously and transmits the multiple switch control signals.

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.
