ABSTRACT:
The object of the present invention is realizing an optical fiber amplifier wherein the number of channels actually inputted to the optical fiber amplifier is read by the optical fiber amplifier itself, thereby both allowing, through self-control, optimum operating conditions in accordance with the number of transmission channels and the maintenance of transmission performance. An optical fiber amplifier of this invention that is provided with an optical signal amplifier that amplifies optical signals transmitted on an optical fiber, which is the optical signal transmission line, and a control circuit section that controls the amplifying operation of said optical signal amplifier, comprising a branch circuit that is arranged within the optical signal transmission route and that branches off and extracts a portion of the transmitted optical signal power; and a channel counter that inputs a portion of the branched optical signal power from said branch circuit and that counts the number of channels of the transmitted optical signals; wherein said control circuit section controls the amplification factor of said optical signal amplifier in accordance with the number of channels counted at said channel counter.
