The present invention provides a multi-stage optical amplifier including a high SN ratio and a method of controlling the same. A multi-stage optical amplifier is configured such that the gain of an amplifying unit in a first stage is greater than that of an amplifying unit in another stage. Therefore, it is possible to increase signal components that have been reduced due to spontaneously emitted light in the first stage, and thus relatively reduce noise. As a result, the obtained signals including a high SN ratio can be maintained in another stage, and it is possible to obtain a high SN ratio.
