Abstract
An optical amplifier repeater system includes an optical fiber propagating a light beam in a plurality of propagation modes and an optical amplifier repeater amplifying the light beam propagated through the optical fiber. The optical amplifier repeater includes an optical demultiplexer demultiplexing the light beam in the plurality of propagation modes propagated through the optical fiber into a plurality of single-mode light beams, an optical amplifier amplifying, by simultaneous pumping, intensities of the plurality of single-mode light beams using a light beam generated by one pumping light source, an optical multiplexer multiplexing the plurality of single-mode light beams amplified by the optical amplifier into a light beam in the plurality of propagation modes, and an optical intensity adjusting unit adjusting the intensity of each of the plurality of single-mode light beams at least one of before or after the amplification by the optical amplifier. The optical intensity adjusting unit performs the adjustment by amplifying or attenuating the optical intensity of each of the plurality of single-mode light beams in an individual optical path through which the single-mode light beam is propagated.
