The present embodiment relates to an optical amplifier and the like having a structure for enabling efficient use of pumping light while avoiding complication of a device structure. In such an optical amplifier, since pumping light from a pumping light source is supplied to each core of an amplification MCF, a coupling MCF in which adjacent cores form a coupled core is arranged between the amplification MCF and the pumping light source. The pumping light source is optically connected to a specific core of the coupling MCF, and pumping light is coupled from the specific core to remaining cores except the specific core in the coupling MCF before pumping light is supplied to each core of the amplification MCF. This enables coupling of pumping light between optically connected cores between the amplification MCF and the coupling MCF.
