Wavelength multiplex transmission is realized in which the temperature dependency-of an EDFA is compensated for in relation to the wavelengths which are used. A first and a second long-period grating which have different periods from each other are formed in an optical fiber, ensuring that the peak wavelength of a waveform representing a optical transmission loss characteristic of the first long-period grating side is located on the shorter wavelength side than a transmission band and a peak wavelength of a waveform representing a optical transmission loss characteristic of the second long-period grating side is located on the longer wavelength side within the transmission band. The waveforms representing the optical transmission loss characteristics of the respective long-period gratings shift depending on the temperature, a loss deviation characteristic of the first long-period grating allows a optical transmission loss value on the shorter wavelength side than the transmission band to increase as the temperature increases so that a large gain deviation characteristic of an optical amplifier is compensated for, a loss deviation characteristic of the second long-period grating compensates for a residual gain deviation characteristic on the longer wavelength side within the transmission band, whereby the temperature dependent gain characteristic of the optical amplifier is compensated for within the transmission band.

摘要:
A Raman amplifier comprises a pump source (10) configured to produce pumping wavelengths divided into a short wavelength side group and a long wavelength side group, a boundary between the short wavelength side group and the long wavelength side group being defined by a longest interval between any two adjacent pumping wavelengths. The short wavelength side group includes two or more pumping wavelengths having substantially equidistant intervals therebetween, e.g. 1 THz, that are shorter than the longest interval, e.g. 2 THz or more. The long wavelength side group includes not more than two pumping wavelengths. The pump source (10) is configured to adjust a level of at least one of the short wavelength side group and the long wavelength side group so as to impart a predetermined tilt to a composite gain profile.
