Abstract

A transmission device, includes a first wavelength converter configured to convert a second wavelength-multiplexed signal in a first wavelength band to a second wavelength band different from the first wavelength band, and a multiplexer configured to transmit, after the conversion, a wavelength-multiplexed signal obtained through multiplexing of a first wavelength-multiplexed signal in the first wavelength band, a first supervisory control signal light ray that is a control signal for the first wavelength-multiplexed signal, the second wavelength-multiplexed signal in the second wavelength band, and a second supervisory control signal light ray that is a control signal for the second wavelength-multiplexed signal, wherein the first supervisory control signal light ray and the second supervisory control signal light ray each have a wavelength in a wavelength band different from the first wavelength band and the second wavelength band.
