Abstract
Disclosed is an optical signal repeating and amplifying device which has: an optical amplifier which amplifies an optical signal to be input thereto and then outputs it; and an optical filter means through which only one wavelength light of the optical signal to be output from the optical amplifier is passed. Also disclosed is an optical level adjusting device which has: an optical demultiplexer which demultiplexes a wavelength-multiplexed optical signal into a plurality of wavelength lights; a plurality of optical attenuators which attenuate separately the demultiplexed plurality of wavelength lights to be output from the optical demultiplexer; and an optical multiplexer which multiplexes the attenuated wavelength lights to be output from the plurality of optical attenuators into a wavelength-multiplexed optical signal and output it.
