| 摘要 |
A repeater according to the present invention includes a plurality of excitation light sources with varying center wavelengths for use as an excitation light source to achieve Raman amplification; and comprises a flatness monitoring circuit which monitors the flatness of signal light on a transmission line; a monitor control circuit which controls externally said excitation light sources based on a remote supervisory control signal and which determines which of said excitation light sources to control as appropriate according to the flatness of signal light identified by said flatness monitoring circuit; and a bandwidth selective reflector or LD modules which, under the control of said monitor control circuit, outputs said flatness information to another repeater as a remote supervisory control signal with a specific wavelength, via said transmission line.
