Abstract
In an optical transmission network of the present invention, an optical signal output from a CWDM unit is combined on an optical transmission path of a DWDM network via a multiplexing filter arranged on a light output terminal of a DWDM unit adjacent to the CWDM unit. Furthermore, an optical signal propagated on an optical transmission path is branched from the DWDM light by a de-multiplexing filter provided on a light input terminal of an adjacent DWDM unit, and applied to a CWDM unit adjacent to the DWDM unit. As a result, it is possible to mutually connect a plurality of CWDM networks, using an optical transmission path of a DWDM network, and it is possible to realize a longer distance for CWDM networks.
