An object of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber amplifier capable of suppressing oscillation of ASE. The optical fiber amplifier includes a second amplifier fiber 30 doped with a rare earth element; a second pumping source 26 that supplies pump light to the second amplifier fiber 30; a storage unit 40 for storing a relationship between oscillation threshold pump power and temperature of the second amplifier fiber 30, the oscillation threshold pump power being power of the pump light which causes oscillation of ASE in a different wavelength range from a signal wavelength range produced by the second amplifier fiber 30; and a temperature controller 38 for controlling the temperature of the second amplifier fiber 30 so that the oscillation threshold pump power is higher than the power of the pump light outputted by the second pumping source 26, by referring to the relationship stored in the storage unit 40.
