A light is incident on a refractive diffraction grating 13, and is distributed for each of wavelengths at different angles to be outputted. A lens 14 converts the distributed lights into belt-shaped lights, and the belt-shaped lights are incident on a mirror substrate 15 having selective reflection regions 17-1 to 17-x. By moving the mirror substrate 15 toward a direction different from a distribution direction of the belt-shaped lights, only the light of any one of wavelengths is reflected. Then, the light returning to the refractive diffraction grating 13 is reflected to an incident direction of the original light. Accordingly, a tunable filter which is able to select a light of an arbitrary wavelength by moving the mirror substrate 15 can be realized. |
