Abstract
An optical communication system having an optical transmission line, where a first section of the optical transmission line is connected to a first optical communication device; and a second section of the optical transmission line is connected to a second optical communication device. The optical communication system further includes: a Raman light source; an incident device connected to same end of the second section of the optical transmission line as the second optical communication device; and a separating device interconnecting the first section of the optical transmission line to the second section of the optical transmission line. The incident device causes excitation light output from the Raman light source to be incident to the second section of the optical transmission line and performs distributed Raman amplification on the optical signal; and the separating device separates the excitation light that is caused to be incident by the incident device.
