Filter chips, each of which has a wavelength characteristic corresponding to each wavelength component of wavelength-multiplexed light, are mounted on a transparent substrate to make an optical filter element. When wavelength-multiplexed light is input to the optical filter element via an optical fiber, the transmission and reflection characteristics vary depending upon which filter chip the light enters. The input position of the light to the optical filter element is changed by moving it in a direction that the filter chips are arranged, so that different selection characteristics can be obtained.
