Abstract

In a signal demultiplexing device formed by a probe light source, a wavelength converter, and a wavelength demultiplexer, the probe light source is formed by a plurality of sub-probe light sources configured to respectively generate the sub-probe lights with the prescribed different wavelengths for respective time-slots, a multiplexer configured to multiplex the sub-probe lights generated by the plurality of sub-probe light sources, and a phase different giving unit configured to give phase differences corresponding to time-slot positions to the sub-probe lights multiplexed by the multiplexer, and to sequentially output the sub-probe lights with the phase differences in correspondence to respective time-slots.
