ABSTRACT:
A wavelength selecting apparatus includes a wavelength selecting filter and that a monitoring filter are similar acousto-optic tunable filters; a light source that outputs light having a specific wavelength to the monitoring filter; a light receiving unit that detects a wavelength of light that has passed the monitoring filter; and a control unit that outputs, to the wavelength selecting filter, a control signal having a control frequency to selectively pass light of a desirable wavelength. The light source includes a light emitting element that emits light of a wide wavelength band; and an optical filter having at least two transmission bands through which the light passes to the monitoring filter. The control unit, based on at least two wavelengths of the light output by the light source, outputs a control signal having a control frequency corresponding to the desirable wavelength.
