In the conventional shutdown method of the above-mentioned optical wavelength division multiplex transmission system, since the shutdown is not performed unless the device detects the reflection alarm even when the transmission line is cut, indiscriminately from the end face of the transmission line cut. This means that the main signal may be output.

Reflection means that at the time of cutting at the cutting point 110 in FIG. 5, the optical signal sent from the optical amplifier 301 bounces off at the cutting end face and returns to the optical amplifier 301 again. At this time, unless reflected light having an optical power of a certain level or more is input to the optical amplifier 301, it is not considered that the transmission line is cut. Therefore, if the distance of the transmission path is sufficiently long, the reflected light may be attenuated during the return, and it may not be determined that the transmission path is disconnected.
