Abstract

An aspect of the present invention is a separation system including a separation unit that separates a first signal having a first wavelength and a second signal having a second wavelength that is a wavelength excluding the first wavelength from an input optical signal, and a detection unit that detects intensity of the second signal.

Claims (20)

1 . A separation system comprising:

a separator that separates a first signal having a first wavelength and a second signal having a second wavelength that is a wavelength excluding the first wavelength from an input optical signal; and

a detector that detects intensity of the second signal.

2 . The separation system according to claim 1 , wherein when the detector detects the second signal with a predetermined intensity determined in advance or more, the detector makes a predetermined notification determined in advance to a predetermined device.

3 . The separation system according to claim 1 , further comprising a breaker that blocks the input optical signal or the first signal when the detector detects the second signal with a predetermined intensity determined in advance or more.

4 . The separation system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second detector that detects intensity of the input optical signal or a separated first signal, wherein

the second detector makes a predetermined notification determined in advance to a predetermined device when the second detector detects the input optical signal with a predetermined intensity determined in advance or more.

5 . The separation system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second detector that detects intensity of the input optical signal or a separated first signal, and

a breaker that blocks the input optical signal or the first signal when the second detector detects the input optical signal with a predetermined intensity determined in advance or more.

6 . A separation system, comprising:

a separator that separates a first signal having a first wavelength and a second signal having a second wavelength that is a wavelength excluding the first wavelength from an input optical signal; and

a discarder that discards the second signal so as not to be mixed with the first signal.

7 . The separation system according to claim 1 , wherein the first wavelength is, at a time of initial connection of user equipment that is a transmission source of the optical signal, a wavelength used at the time of initial connection, and is a set wavelength after a wavelength is set for the user equipment.

8 . The separation system according to claim 1 , wherein the separator includes a grating or a multilayer film filter that reflects or transmits the first signal to output the first signal to a path connected to a device different from the detector or the discarder that discards the signal, and transmits or reflects the second signal to output the second signal to a path connected to the detector or the discarder.

9 . The separation system according to claim 1 , further comprising a grating or a multilayer film filter that transmits the first signal to output the first signal to a path connected to a device different from the detector or the discarder, and reflects the second signal to output the second signal to a path connected to the detector or the discarder.

10 . The separation system according to claim 1 , wherein the separator includes a grating or a multilayer film filter that outputs the first signal to a path or a port or an angle connected to a device different from the detector or the discarder and outputs the second signal to a path or a port or an angle connected to the detector or the discarder, or a diffraction grating or a spatial modulation element or an interferometric ring resonator having a different angle of a transmission or reflection wavelength according to a wavelength.

11 . The separation system according to claim 1 , wherein

the separator further includes a multiplexer that inputs, multiplexes, and outputs at least one of a plurality of the first signals connected to a device different from the detector or the discarder that discards the signal, or a plurality of the second signals connected to the detector or the discarder.
