Abstract

See full text

To apply an optical amplification repeater device to optical fiber sensing to lengthen a sensing range, as well as to enable compatibility with an optical communication system a cable system that uses a cable for optical fiber communication and optical fiber sensing of an environment surrounding the cable, wherein: the optical fiber communication is bidirectional communication using optical fiber pairs which are pairs of the optical fiber; in an optical fiber, a first wavelength band and a second wavelength band are different from each other; an optical amplification unit included in the optical amplification repeater device includes a first amplifier and a second amplifier that amplify rays of light in mutually opposing directions; and each of the communication optical signal, the probe light, and the backscattering light is amplified by at least either the first amplifier or the second amplifier.
