Abstract
An optical amplification device includes: a polarization demultiplexing unit that separates an optical signal into a first polarized wave and a second polarized wave; a first optical amplification unit that amplifies the first polarized wave by using a first amplification medium; a second optical amplification unit that amplifies the second polarized wave by using a second amplification medium; a first band demultiplexing unit that demultiplexes the first polarized wave into a band component of the first polarized wave and a band component of first phase conjugate light; a second band demultiplexing unit that demultiplexes the second polarized wave into a band component of the second polarized wave and a band component of second phase conjugate light; a signal monitoring unit that measures a first optical power value of either the band component of the first polarized wave or the band component of the first phase conjugate light and a second optical power value of either the band component of the second polarized wave or the band component of the second phase conjugate light; an amplification gain control unit that controls an amplification band and gain of the first amplification medium and an amplification band and gain of the second amplification medium on the basis of the first optical power value and the second optical power value; and a polarization combination unit that multiplexes the band component of the first polarized wave and the band component of the second polarized wave not measured by the signal monitoring unit.
