FIG. 8 shows an optical signal level diagram of a conventional optical repeater transmission system. In the figure, the optical signal transmitted from the transmitter 2 is attenuated by passing through the optical fiber transmission line 1 and is amplified to the original optical signal level by the optical repeater 10. The optical signal is transmitted to the receiver 3 after repeating such attenuation and amplification. At this time, in the optical repeater 10 using the optical fiber amplifier, spontaneous emission optical noise is generated at the same time as the amplification of the optical signal, which is accumulated in each optical repeater 10 and the main deterioration of the signal-to-noise ratio in the receiver 3.

From the relationship, it can be seen that the spontaneous emission light noise power P ASE increases as the relay interval L rep increases. On the other hand, the optical signal output level of the optical repeater is limited by the efficiency of the rare earth-doped fiber and the output of the pumping light source that excites the fiber. Further, as the optical signal output level increases, the non-linear effect of the optical fiber transmission line becomes conspicuous, which also limits the optical signal output level.

Therefore, in the optical repeater transmission system using the optical fiber amplifier as the optical repeater, the repeater interval cannot be lengthened to some extent in order to secure the required signal-to-noise ratio. Also, according to equation (5), it is understood that the spontaneous emission optical noise power can be reduced and the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved by shortening the repeater interval rather than reducing the number of optical repeaters. However, this increases the number of optical repeaters, which increases the cost of the entire system and lowers the reliability.

In the present invention, the pumping light under the above conditions is further input to the optical fiber transmission line so that a predetermined gain can be obtained. As a result, the optical signal is distributedly amplified by the Raman amplification effect, and the optical signal input level to the optical repeater is increased. As a result, in the optical repeater, the repeater gain for obtaining the same optical signal output level as the conventional one can be reduced,
As a result, spontaneous emission noise can be reduced,

In the figure, the optical signal transmitted from the transmitter 2 is attenuated by passing through the optical fiber transmission line 1, but is distributedly amplified by Raman amplification as shown by the solid line in the figure. The broken line shows the conventional optical signal level. As a result, the optical signal input level to the optical repeater 20 increases. The optical repeater 10 amplifies to the original optical signal level, but the repeater gain for obtaining the same optical signal output level as the conventional one decreases. Along with this, the spontaneous emission noise also decreases as shown by the solid line in the figure. The broken line indicates the conventional spontaneous emission noise level. The optical signal is transmitted to the receiver 3 after repeating such attenuation and amplification.
