An amplifying-apparatus that raman-amplifies light transmitted through an optical-fiber-transmission-path, includes: an inputting-unit that inputs pump light to the optical-fiber-transmission-path; a path-switching-unit that is capable of switching between a first state in which the light transmitted through the optical-fiber-transmission-path is output to a first path and a second state in which the light transmitted through the optical-fiber-transmission-path is output to a second path; a splitting-unit that splits the light output to the second path by the path-switching-unit and outputs resulting first light and second light; and a control-circuit that stores information based on a result of reception of the light output to the first path by putting the path-switching-unit into the first state and then controls power of the pump light on a basis of the stored information and a result of reception of the first light output by the splitting-unit by putting the path-switching-unit into the second state. |
