Optical Transmission Equipment and Method for Controlling Thereof

摘要

The optical transmission equipment includes: a demultiplexer for demultiplexing a transmitted wavelength-multiplexed optical signal to first and second optical signals; a first variable dispersion compensation unit; a second variable dispersion compensation unit; a first error detector; a second error detector; and a dispersion compensation control unit for controlling dispersion compensation amounts of the first and second variable dispersion compensation units based on the detection result of the first or second error detector. Upon detection of a signal error in the first optical signal, the first variable dispersion compensation unit is controlled to change from a first compensation amount to a third compensation amount, and the second variable dispersion compensation unit is controlled to change from a second compensation amount to a fourth compensation amount.
