An optical amplifier includes an optical fiber which includes a core in which the signal light is propagated and with which a rare-earth element is doped; a laser that is optically coupled to an end of the optical fiber, providing the optical fiber with an excitation light; and a filter which is formed in the optical fiber and removes a light within a wavelength range, from the core, among lights propagated in the core, wherein the filter comprises a first filter that is arranged at a stage of the optical fiber and removes a first light in a first wavelength range, and a second filter that is arranged at a subsequent stage of the optical fiber and removes a second light in a second wavelength range, wherein a wavelength of the second light is longer than a wavelength of the first light.
