Abstract
Light amplification devices using coupled multi-core optical fibers have a figure of merit that temporally varies, which makes it difficult to perform performance evaluation and to build a light transmission system using the same. Accordingly, a light amplification device of the present invention comprises: a band control means that controls the wavelength band of a light carrier to generate a band control light; and a band control light amplification means that has a plurality of light amplification media through which the band control light propagates, wherein the band control light amplification means amplifies the band control light in a coupled state in which the light propagating through the plurality of light amplification media induces a crosstalk and wherein the band control means controls the wavelength band such that the band control light having propagated through the plurality of light amplification media has a reduced coherence.
