Abstract
In a case where a failure occurs in a part of an optical fiber in an optical cable, when attempting to switch to a redundant configuration, the stable use of an optical transmission system is impaired, so that the wavelength band cannot be used effectively. Accordingly, the optical transmission system of the present invention includes a first optical device configured to change the transmission line of a wavelength band signal propagating through a first optical transmission line to a second optical transmission line that is the same path as the first optical transmission line, in the stage before a faulty part in the first optical transmission line, and a second optical device configured to change the transmission line of the wavelength band signal from the second optical transmission line to the first optical transmission line, in the stage after the faulty part.
