    摘要: In an optical amplifier of the present invention, an input light is supplied to one end of an optical fiber connected to an output port, and the power of a light in an opposite direction which is input to the output port from the one end of the optical fiber, is measured, thereby obtaining a stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) occurrence threshold in the optical fiber based on the measurement result. Then, using the SBS occurrence threshold, a relation been the input light power and an occurrence amount of the self phase modulation (SPM) or the like in the optical fiber is obtained to be reflected on a control of the optical amplifier, so that an occurrence of the SPM or the like in the optical fiber is suppressed. As a result, it becomes possible to accurately measure, with a simple configuration, the nonlinear optical properties of the optical fiber actually connected to the output port of the optical amplifier, so that the optical S/N ratio degradation due to a nonlinear optical effect can be effectively suppressed.

    摘要: A signal light processing apparatus includes a first wavelength selection switch, a dispersion compensator, and a second wavelength selection switch. The first wavelength selection switch divides an input wavelength-multiplexed signal light into signal lights of each wavelength and outputs the signal lights from a first output port or a second output port in accordance with wavelengths of the divided signal lights. The dispersion compensator compensates dispersion compensation on the signal light output from the first output port by the first wavelength selection switch. The second wavelength selection switch combines the signal light on which dispersion compensation is compensated by the dispersion compensator and the signal light output from the second output port by the first wavelength selection switch.
