Abstract
An optical amplifier amplifies signal light and includes a pump light source that outputs pump light of a wavelength different from that of the signal light; a combining unit that combines the signal light and the pump light output by the pump light source, to output combined light; an amplifying unit that has non-linear optical media that transmit the combined light to amplify the signal light, the amplifying unit further removing, in the non-linear optical media, idler light generated from the signal light and the pump light, and outputting light that results; and an extraction filter that extracts the signal light from the light output by the amplifying unit.
