An optical amplifier may be quickly returned from a shutdown state to a regular state after getting recovery information of a fault. Gain setting by ASE is conducted to the repeaters on the up-stream side during the shutdown state, by outputting ASE light with the same intensity as the WDM signal. Accordingly, before realizing the recovery of shutdown, the gain setting is completed with the light whose intensity is within the safe criterion. After realizing the recovery of shutdown, the optical transmission system can be returned quickly to the regular operating state after recovery of shutdown state.
