An optical amplifying apparatus which includes an optical amplifier, an optical attenuator and a controller. The optical amplifier amplifies a light signal having a variable number of channels. The optical attenuator passes the amplified light signal and has a variable light transmissivity. Prior to varying the number of channels in the light signal, the controller varies the light transmissivity of the optical attenuator so that a power level of the amplified light signal is maintained at an approximately constant level that depends on the number of channels in the light signal prior to the varying the number of channels. While the number of channels in the light signal is being varied, the controller maintains the light transmissivity of the optical attenuator to be constant. Subsequent to varying the number of channels in the light signal, the controller varies the light transmissivity of the optical attenuator so that a power level of the amplified light signal is maintained at an approximately constant level that depends on the number of channels in the light signal subsequent to the varying the number of channels.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling a gain of an optical amplifier, and the apparatus comprises a target gain calculating unit for calculating, as a target gain for an optical amplifier, a value obtained by increasing or decreasing a gain (output) of signal light as the number of wavelengths of wavelength-multiplexed signal light decreases, and a control signal outputting unit for outputting a control signal to the optical amplifier so as to amplify the wavelength-multiplexed signal light with the target gain calculated by the target gain calculating unit. This promptly suppresses a fluctuation of signal light level, particularly, a fluctuation of output light power of an optical amplifier stemming from a variation of the number of wavelengths of wavelength-multiplexed signal light.
