An optical amplifier includes: a temperature-adjustment-unit that is provided in a wavelength-fixing-unit that fixes a center-wavelength of an excitation-light-source, and adjusts a temperature of the wavelength-fixing-unit, which causes the center-wavelength of the excitation-light-source to vary; a temperature-measurement-unit that measures the temperature of the wavelength-fixing-unit and a temperature of a gain-equalization-unit that equalizes gains of the signal-light on which the Raman amplification is performed using the excitation-light-source; a shift-amount-obtaining-unit that obtains a shift amount data of the center-wavelength of the excitation-light-source from a first-storage-unit and obtains a shift amount of the center-wavelength of the wavelength-band from a second-storage-unit; and a control unit that obtains a temperature-data of the-wavelength-fixing-unit, which corresponds to a difference between two shift amounts that are obtained by the shift amount obtaining unit, from the first-storage-unit, and controls the temperature of the wavelength-fixing-unit based on the obtained temperature-data. |
