The embodiment of the invention discloses a bidirectional Raman erbium-doped fiber hybrid amplifier, an optical signal amplification method and an optical communication system. The optical fiber hybrid amplifier comprises a Raman pump output port, a bidirectional Raman amplifier, a 2 * 2 optical switch, an erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier input connection port, an erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier, an erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier output connection port and a system signal optical port. The Raman pump output port, the bidirectional Raman amplifier, the 2 * 2 optical switch and the system signal optical port are sequentially connected through an optical path, and the erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier is connected with the 2 * 2 optical switch through the erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier input connecting port and the erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier output connecting port. The 2 * 2 optical switch can gate a connection path between the bidirectional Raman amplifier and system signal light port and the output and input connection ports of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier, thereby realizing opposite or same-direction propagation of the pump light and the signallight. According to the embodiment of the invention, the Raman pump output end is stably connected with the optical fiber, repeated plugging is not needed, and single-fiber duplex is supported.
