<p>The present invention relates to optical communication apparatuses such as OADM node, or OXC node. A receiving dispersion compensating module adjusts the accumulated dispersion of a wavelength-division-multiplexed optical signal such that the accumulated dispersion has an optimum value at a receiver for receiving optical signals in respective wavelength channels which are dropped from the wavelength-division-multiplexed optical signal. An auxiliary dispersion compensating module is provided in a path for an added wavelength group. The auxiliary dispersion compensating module applies the same value of dispersion as the accumulated dispersion adjusted by the receiving dispersion compensating module, to a wavelength-division-multiplexed optical signal in the added wavelength group. Therefore, the accumulated dispersion of a dropped wavelength group has an optimum value, and the accumulated dispersion of a through wavelength group and the accumulated dispersion of the added wavelength group are equalized to each other in a multiplexer.</p> |
