Abstract:
An optical module includes a variable wavelength interference filter provided with a pair of reflecting films, and an electrostatic actuator configured to change a gap dimension between the pair of reflecting films, a driver configured to apply a periodic drive voltage to the electrostatic actuator, a gap detector configured to detect a gap dimension between the pair of reflecting films, and a light receiver configured to receive light from the variable wavelength interference filter. The light reception signal from the light receiver is detected at a predetermined timing from a detection timing of one of a maximum value and a minimum value of the gap dimension detected by the gap detector.

Claim (Index 14):
The method according to  claim 11 , further comprising:\n varying the period of the periodic drive voltage in a range from 80% to 120% with respect to a characteristic period of a movable section of a movable substrate of the interference filter, and then locking the period when one of:\n the maximum value that is greater than or equal to a first value; or \n the minimum value that is less than or equal to a second value is detected in a predetermined number of times.
