A laser oscillator includes a ring resonator. The ring resonator includes an optical circulator having first, second, third, and fourth ports and a first optical amplification fiber connected to the optical circulator. Light incident on the first port is exited from the second port, and light incident on the second port is exited from the third port. The fourth port provides an exciting light and injects the exciting light into the ring resonator through the first port. The first optical amplification fiber amplifies light exited from the third port with the exciting light provided by the fourth port. The laser oscillator also includes an optical member connected to the optical circulator. The optical member reflects at least a part of the light exited from the second port and injects the same into the second port again.

A wideband optical amplifier for amplifying an input optical signal of known wavelength in one of at least two bands of wavelength has a significantly small number of optical components and thus is low cost. The wideband optical amplifier includes: a first set of a first optical coupler, a first pump light source, and a first erbium doped optical fiber (EDF) which is excited by the first pump light source; an optical switch for changing an output signal of the first set; and a second set of a second optical coupler, a second pump light source, and a second EDF which is excited by the second pump light source. The first set amplifies a first band of optical signal while a series connection of the first set and the second set amplifies a second band of optical signal. In another aspect, a wideband variable wavelength optical source is achieved by utilizing the wideband optical amplifier described above within a closed loop.
