Abstract
An optical transmission device includes: an attenuator that attenuates an optical signal from an adjacent optical transmission device; an optical element that is arranged downstream of the attenuator; a detector that detects a change in a characteristic of a transmission path; and a controller that adjusts, when the change is detected, an attenuation of the attenuator to keep the level of the optical signal input to the optical element at a predetermined level.
