PURPOSE:To increase the degree of wavelength multiplexing by disposing variable wavelength filters and fixed wavelength filters which has the transmission band width wider than the variable wavelength range thereof and include the variable wavelength range within the transmission bands in series. CONSTITUTION:This system is constituted by arranging the variable wavelength filters 11 to 15 which have the function to select the wavelength of arbitrary light from the predetermined wavelength range and the fixed wavelength filters 21 to 25 which have the transmission band width wider than the variable wavelength range of the variable wavelength filters 11 to 15 and includes the variable wavelength range of the variable wavelength filters 11 to 15 within the transmission band in series. The unnecessary wavelength region is, therefore, cut by the fixed wavelength filters 21 to 25, by which noise light components are decreased and an error rate is improved. The degree of the wavelength multiplexing is increased in this way and the wavelength division multiplex optical transmission and optical exchange system of a large capacity is built.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, conventional optical demultiplexing systems used in wavelength division multiplexing optical transmission and wavelength division optical switching systems have the following problems to be solved. A conventional optical demultiplexing system consists of one variable wavelength filter. When this variable wavelength filter is used to select one wavelength signal from among wavelength multiplexed signals, a small amount of light other than the wavelengths to be selected is transmitted according to the filter's transmission characteristics. This situation is shown in FIG. 3(b). Light with wavelengths other than those to be selected becomes noise light, which deteriorates the error rate during reception. In order to obtain a predetermined error rate, it is necessary to reduce optical noise components, that is, to reduce crosstalk between adjacent wavelengths. Then, the necessary losstalk was determined, and the wavelength division multiplexing optical transmission, wavelength division optical switching, and wavelength spacing of the system were determined to satisfy this crosstalk. The wavelength multiplicity is determined by the wavelength interval and the variable wavelength range of the variable wavelength filter.
In other words, the wavelength multiplicity of the entire system was determined by the characteristics of the optical demultiplexing system.

Conventional wavelength-division optical multiplexing transmission/wavelength-division optical switching systems and systems use an optical demultiplexing system consisting of a single variable wavelength filter, so they utilize output vectors as shown in Figure 3(b). Ta. In this case, as shown in the figure, light of wavelengths other than those to be selected according to the transmission characteristics (transmission bandwidth and extinction ratio) of the variable wavelength filter is also transmitted. these,
Light other than the selected wavelength becomes noise light and degrades the error rate during reception. In order to obtain a predetermined error rate, it is necessary to reduce optical noise components, that is, to reduce crosstalk between adjacent wavelengths. The wavelength spacing is determined to satisfy this crosstalk, and the wavelength multiplexing degree is limited by the wavelength spacing and the variable wavelength range of the variable wavelength filter.
