Abstract
In a conventional photo signal amplification transmission system, since control is performed to make constant an output power, total output powers of all wavelengths are made constant when a multi-wavelength transmission is made. An output power of one wavelength is decreased and deviated from an optimum power. To solve the problem, a transmission photo amplifier 3, a relay photo amplifier 4 and a receiving photo amplifier 5 are provided with wavelength number information management sections 11, 12 and 13, respectively. An amplifying means is controlled in accordance with the number of wavelengths of the multi-wavelength signal which is obtained by the wavelength number information management sections. The wavelength number information management sections 11 to 13 multiplex a wavelength number information signal onto an optical fiber cable 6 and renews the signal.
