In order to be able to use a semiconductor light amplifier of conventional type and operating under gain saturation conditions while nevertheless providing constant gain for an optical signal to be amplified, the device comprises means for producing a compensation light wave and coupling means for injecting the optical signal to be amplified and the compensation light wave into the amplifier. The compensation light wave presents amplitude modulation such that when combined with the optical signal to be amplified the overall amplitude modulation is eliminated or at least attenuated. The device is applicable to optical transmission systems operating at a single wavelength or with wavelength division multiplexing.
