=== What are the specific wavelengths used in the WDM signal light? The specific wavelengths used in the WDM signal light are not mentioned in the abstract. Answer: The specific wavelengths used in the WDM signal light could vary depending on the application and system requirements.
=== How does the processor control the signal level of the WDM signal light? The abstract mentions that the processor controls the signal level of the WDM signal light, but it does not provide details on the specific mechanism. Answer: The processor likely adjusts the signal level based on feedback from the wavelength converter or other monitoring devices to optimize the conversion process.
Original Abstract Submitted
An optical transmission system includes: a WDM transmission device configured to output WDM signal light including rays of a plurality of wavelengths; a wavelength converter configured to convert the WDM signal light into converted light in a different wavelength band; and a processor configured to control a signal level of the WDM signal light incident on the wavelength converter, wherein the processor controls the signal level of the WDM signal light so as to make the signal level of the WDM signal light decrease in a direction away from a wavelength of pump light used in the wavelength converter.
