A wavelength division multiplexed optical amplifier controlling system and method. The wavelength division multiplexed optical amplifier controlling system includes an optical exchange system for generating and interpreting a supervision channel optical signal, multiplexing the supervision channel and data channels including optical signals having different wavelengths, and transmitting and receiving the multiplexed channels. Optical amplifying stages located in a transmission path are connected to the optical exchange system for amplification with uniform gain over a wavelength range including the data channel optical signals, according to information on the supervision channel optical signal. State information concerning amplification are inserted into the supervision channel when the optical exchange system requests the state information. An optical filter at each wavelength is used for supervision in a WDM-EDFA because a supervision channel having a predetermined wavelength is not necessary, so the structure of the WDM-EDFA becomes simpler.
