<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain high amplification efficiency and high noise performance of signal light in an optical amplifier device using an optical fiber. <P>SOLUTION: An optical amplifier device 1 is an optical amplifier device for amplifying a signal light Lin which includes an optical amplifier medium 30 having a core propagating signal light and removing means 31 to remove light belonging to a prescribed wavelength range, within the light propagating through the core of the optical amplifier medium, from the core of the optical amplifier medium. The prescribed wavelength range removed by the removing means is determined according to a location along a propagation direction of the signal light in the optical amplifier medium. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
