Zusammenfassung:Optical signals inputted to input ports are split in half by 1×2 optical splitters respectively and the resulting signals are inputted to the input terminals of an optical matrix switch. The optical matrix switch switches between the routes of the individual optical signals and outputs the signal at any of the output ports. This enables the optical signal from the same input port to be outputted at two different output ports, which makes it possible to effect "bridge" at the time of protection switching.
