    摘要: An optical communication system comprises: a plurality of optical communication apparatus for communicating signals by using a plurality of communicating lights having different wavelengths; an optical transmitter for transmitting a controlling light having a different wavelength than any of the plurality of wavelengths; an optical transmission line for interconnecting the optical transmitter and the optical communication apparatus to transmit the communicating lights and the controlling light; an optical amplifier for amplifying the communicating lights and the controlling light transmitted over the optical transmission line; and control circuit for discriminating the controlling light amplified by the optical amplifier from the communicating lights and controlling a gain of the optical amplifier to keep a light intensity of the controlling light at a constant level.
