An erbium-doped fiber amplifier and a wavelength division multiplexing optical transmission system equipped with the same are disclosed. The wavelength division multiplexing optical transmission system includes a transmission stage having a first C/L fiber amplifier for amplifying combined C and L-band optical signals, an optical repeater having at least one second C/L fiber amplifier for amplifying the optical signals transmitted from a single mode fiber of a predetermined length, and a dispersion compensating fiber of a predetermined length for compensating dispersions of the amplified optical signals. The system also includes a reception stage having a third C/L fiber amplifier for amplifying the optical signals transmitted from a single mode fiber of a predetermined length, and a receiver for separating the amplified optical signals from the third C/L fiber amplifier into C-band optical signals and L-band optical signals band by band and de-multiplexing the separated amplified optical signals.
