In making use of an add/drop multiplexer for demultiplexing or multiplexing signal light of a few specific wavelengths from signal light subjected to optical wavelength multiplexing, a fiber bragg grating is excellent for enhancing rejection of a leakage of a demultiplexed light, but with respect to a high speed optical signal at the demultiplexing or multiplexing, a waveform deterioration occurs. When a dielectric multilayer film filter is used for dealing with the high speed optical signal, a plurality of filters are used to suppress a coherent cross talk, resulting in an increase of loss of pass-through light and an increase of costs. For a filter portion of at least demultiplexing part, a dielectric multilayer film filter which is short in an optical path and free from deterioration of a high speed optical signal is used, and for demultiplexed light leakage rejecting part between the demultiplexing part and the multiplexing part, a fiber bragg grating which is low in loss of pass-through light, is low in cost and is excellent in the rejection characteristics of filter light is used.
