A light signal generating apparatus including an erbium-doped optical fiber is provided. The signal light generating apparatus includes a optical fiber which is a gain medium, a light source to emit pump light, a stabilizing unit to compensate for changes of a mean wavelength of the signal light with respect to temperature change in the optical fiber to thereby stabilize the mean wavelength of the signal light, and an optical coupler to transmit the pump light from the light source to the optical fiber and to output signal light returning from the optical fiber and signal light returning from the optical fiber via the stabilizing unit by which the single light is stabilized. Accordingly, the apparatus can lower the change of the mean wavelength with respect to temperature and lower a pump power required of the pump light source.
