The optical supervisory signal and the main path optical signals are separated by the FIU.

Then, the optical

supervisory signal is sent to the optical supervisory channel (OSC) unit for processing.

After amplification, the optical signals in the main channel are demultiplexed into two channels of
multiplexed signals (odd-numbered wavelengths and even-numbered wavelengths) with the frequency
spacing of 100 GHz by the ITL. Then, each channel of multiplexed signals is demultiplexed into a single
channel of optical signals, and finally sent to the corresponding client equipment after being transformed
or divided by the OTUs.

The signal flow of the transmit direction is the reverse process of the receive direction.
