ABSTRACT:
An optical amplifier includes a detecting section configured to detect a part of an input optical signal from a first node on an input side optical fiber; and a rare earth element doped optical fiber amplifier configured to amplify a remaining part of the input optical signal supplied from the input side optical fiber by using an excitation optical signal supplied from a second node and to output the amplified optical signal as an output optical signal to an output side optical fiber. A control unit controls the excitation optical signal based on the detected part of the input optical signal by the detecting section without real time control based on the output optical signal.
