Abstract
There is disclosed a technique regarding an optical amplifier in an optical communications system. In order to effectively suppress optical surges during amplification of signal light, through a simple structure, there is provided an amplifying medium which amplifies input light and outputs the amplified light, and reflecting members are connected to the input and output sides of the amplifying medium. The reflecting members can reflect light with a predetermined optical wavelength different from a signal light wavelength contained in the input light.
