Disclosed is a dispersion-compensated optical-fiber amplifier including a circulator for outputting an optical signal received at a first terminal to a second terminal, while outputting an optical signal received at the second terminal to a third terminal; a first amplifier for amplifying the optical signal from the second terminal and an optical signal reapplied thereto; a dispersion-compensating fiber for compensating for a dispersion occurring in the optical signal received from the first amplifier and an optical signal reapplied thereto; a second amplifier for amplifying the optical signal from the dispersion-compensating fiber and an optical signal reapplied thereto; a splitter installed on the dispersion-compensating fiber and adapted to output to the dispersion-compensating fiber, an optical signal applied thereto and an optical signal reapplied thereto, while outputting a pumping light applied to one end thereof and adapted to pump both the first and second amplifiers to the other end thereof without allowing the pumping light to pass through the dispersion-compensating fiber; and, a reflector for reflecting back an optical signal from the second amplifier, so that the reflected optical signal is reapplied to the second amplifier, the splitter, the first amplifier, and the circulator, in this order.
