A multi-wavelength light amplifier includes a first-stage light amplifier
which has a first-light amplifying optical fiber amplifying a light
input, a second-stage light amplifier which has a second light amplifying
optical fiber amplifying a first light output from the first-stage light
amplifier, and an optical system which maintains a second light output of
the second-stage light amplifier at a constant power level. The
first-stage and second-stage light amplifiers have different gain vs
wavelength characteristics so that the multi-wavelength light amplifier
has no wavelength-dependence of a gain thereof.
