    Abstract: A Raman amplifier according to the present invention comprises a plurality of pumping means using semiconductor lasers of Fabry-Perot, DFB, or DBR type or MOPAs, and pumping lights outputted from the pumping means have different central wavelengths, and interval between the adjacent central wavelength is greater than 6 nm and smaller than 35 nm. An optical repeater according to the present invention comprises the above-mentioned Raman amplifier and adapted to compensate loss in an optical fiber transmission line by the Raman amplifier. In a Raman amplification method according to the present invention, the shorter the central wavelength of the pumping light the higher light power of said pumping light. In the Raman amplifier according to the present invention, when a certain pumping wavelength is defined as a first channel, and second to n-th channels are defined to be arranged with an interval of about 1 THz toward a longer wavelength side, the pumping lights having wavelengths corresponding to the first to n-th channels are multiplexed, and an pumping light having a wavelength spaced apart from the n-th channel by 2 THz or more toward the longer wavelength side is combined with the multiplexed light, thereby forming the pumping light source. The pumping lights having wavelengths corresponding to the channels other than (n-1)-th and (n-2)-th channels may be multiplexed, thereby forming the pumping light source. The pumping lights having wavelengths corresponding to the channels other than (n-2)-th and (n-3)-th channels may be multiplexed, thereby forming the pumping light source.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing broad band Raman amplification with reduced dependence on polarization state and wavelength. Pump beams of adjacent wavelength are perpendicularly polarized to each other. Further, the wavelength spacing between adjacent pump beams is chosen for the given fiber wavelength spectrum and distance between repeater stations such that adjacent pump beams experience the same polarization state evolution as they travel through the fiber.

    Abstract: A method and system for optical amplification suitable for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Signal light is amplified to obtain amplified signal light. The amplified signal light is gain equalized so that a deviation in signal-to-noise ratio of the amplified signal light with respect to wavelength is reduced to obtain first equalized signal light. The first equalized signal light is amplified to obtain amplified equalized signal light. The amplified equalized signal light is gain equalized so that a deviation in signal power of the amplified equalized signal light with respect to wavelength is reduced. This method is characterized in that in performing optical amplification of signal light plural times gain equalization is performed in the middle stage of the optical amplification so that the deviation in signal-to-noise ratio is reduced, and gain equalization is performed after the final stage of the optical amplification so that the deviation in signal power is reduced. According to this method, gain equalization can be easily performed on both the deviation in signal power and the deviation in signal-to-noise ratio.
