Patent attributes
An optical transmission system includes an optical wavelength branching unit that shifts a wavelength transmission band in the short-wavelength or long-wavelength directions based on a branching filter operation temperature, and performs a branching operation on a wavelength-multiplexed signal. A reception transponder performs decoding on an error correction code. An error correction monitoring unit gathers an error correction amount upon which a branching filter temperature control unit sets the branching filter operation temperature. A transmission transponder performs encoding on an error correction code. An optical wavelength combining unit shifts the wavelength transmission band in the opposite direction from the shifting direction based on a combining filter operation temperature, to perform a combining operation on optical signals and output a wavelength-multiplexed optical signal. A combining filter temperature control unit sets the combining filter operation temperature based on the error correction amount sent from the optical reception device.
