Abstract
An optical amplifying fiber including a core doped with a rare earth element and having a first refractive index, a cladding surrounding the core and having a second refractive index smaller than the first refractive index, and a fiber grating formed in the core for transmitting signal light having a first wavelength and pump light having a second wavelength and removing amplified spontaneous emission. The fiber grating is preferably positioned upstream of a middle point of the entire length of the optical amplifying fiber in terms of a propagation direction of signal light.
