Claim 0:
1. A power-over-fiber system, comprising:
a power sourcing equipment including a semiconductor laser configured to oscillate with electric power to output feed light;
a powered device including a photoelectric conversion element configured to convert the feed light into electric power;
an optical fiber cable configured to transmit the feed light from the power sourcing equipment to the powered device;
a measurer configured to measure a distance from the power sourcing equipment to the powered device; and
a control device configured to control the power sourcing equipment to output the feed light after compensating for an amount of attenuation of the feed light according to a transmission distance on the basis of the distance from the power sourcing equipment to the powered device measured by the measurer,
wherein the measurer is configured to measure the distance from the power sourcing equipment to the powered device before the control device starts up.
